  learning objectives:
  Students learn to define and interpret macroeconomic issues using the relevant theoretical and empirical concepts and extrapolate the implications for economic policy. With the knowledge they gain, student can then characterize markets (goods, finances, labor) and describe the conditions for equilibrium as well as fluctuations. In addition to the theoretical aspects, students also learn to assess the economic classification of countries on the basis of national accounts. Students will also deal with how economic concepts relate more broadly to questions of gender and diversity.
  
  

  course content:
  Principles of macroeconomic theory, principles of national accounts, the function and significance of important macroeconomic agents (from households and businesses to the state and central banks) and markets (labor, goods, and money markets).

  learning objectives:
  Students learn the essential mathematical methods they need in order to understand the formalized economic relationships that they will encounter during their studies. The methods will also enable them to develop solutions to problems related to these economic relationships. The methods include a fundamental understanding of linear algebra and analysis as well as how to apply that to economic problems. In addition, the module treats the students’ individual and cultural diversity as a positive contribution that supports student and teacher success.
  
  

  course content:
  Vectors, matrices, determinants, linear systems of equations, functions of one or more variables, ordinary and partial derivatives, extreme values of functions with and without constraints, integral calculus.

  learning objectives:
  Students learn about microeconomic market analysis and the relationship between competition and welfare. They learn in particular how to describe and characterize the interactions between markets and businesses. They learn to understand the welfare effects of a company’s price and production choices, competitive behavior in an oligopoly, market entry strategies, the role of cartel agreements, and other restraints of competition. Students understand how business decisions affect market efficiency and are therefore able to describe in which sectors legal intervention concerning competition law would benefit efficiency.
