This course is both an introduction to microeconomics as well as macroeconomics. Microeconomics is the economics branch concerned with the decisions of individuals and how they use markets to interact. We start by learning the basic concepts of microeconomics such as supply and demand, elasticities and the variety of market structures. We then focus on macroeconomics, which deals with the aggregate behavior of the economy. We will learn about such topics as why some countries grow faster than others, how the financial and monetary system work and the influence of monetary and fiscal policy on the aggregate demand for goods and services.
