COURSE OBJECTIVES
This course provides an overview of business economics, with an emphasis on applied
economic analysis. The main goal of the course is to define economic concepts and to
encourage students to apply the tools and methods presented in class to gain a better
understanding of economic phenomena. In this course we will focus on two directions:
microeconomics (perfect competition, monopoly and imperfect competition, game
theory) and macroeconomics (money, inflation, international trade, savings and the
financial system).
COURSE PREPARATION
