Content
The objective of this course is to introduce fundamental economic principles.
This course is divided in two parts: microeconomics and macroeconomics.
Microeconomics studies the indivudual choices of economic agents (consumer, firm, government), market mechanisms, state's interventions (externalities, public goods, common ressources, natural monopolies, taxes, subsidies, efficiency losses)
Macroeconomics studies the economy as a whole and the relations among economic variables (growth, inflation, public debt, interest rates, balance of payments, exchange rates, labor market, money market, goods and services market).
