Course Description:
What are the economic fundamentals underlying the modern world economy?
How is the world economy organized? During this subject you are invited
to look at the world with the eye of the economist: seeing the world as
the outcome of many possible alternative outcomes, recognizing the
pervasiveness of choice at every level from micro to macro. This course
will introduce you to the fundamentals and basic tools of economic
analysis. It will teach you the perspective of the economist: viewing
reality as the result of choices and the trade-offs that these choices
reflect. Using problem sets you will further develop your skills in
using mathematical and graphical tools by applying them to stylized and
real-world situations. Cases are an important part of the course, for
illustrating economic principles but also to challenge you to use your
newly acquired knowledge for better understanding.
