Learning outcomes

Students will learn the main micro- and macro-economic models and national accounts. Regarding the microeconomic models, the course will examine the interactions between individuals within the market, assuming individual rationality and the absence of strategic behaviour. The course will then present the main economic factors that lead to market failures. In this context the role of the state will emerge as an active player in the markets. As of the macroeconomic models, the course will present the main macroeconomic aggregates of an economic system. In addition, the course will illustrate the main models describing the commodity market and money market. The discussion will focus on the role and desirability of fiscal and monetary policies.
