This course aims to introduce students to the fundamental principles of microeconomics and macroeconomics, two essential pillars of economics. In microeconomics, students will explore the behavior of individual economic agents—consumers, producers, firms—as well as the mechanisms of price formation in different types of markets. In macroeconomics, the course will cover major economic aggregates such as gross domestic product (GDP), inflation, unemployment, economic growth, and fiscal and monetary policies. Through an interactive and progressive approach, students will develop their ability to analyze contemporary economic issues while acquiring the theoretical foundation necessary for pursuing graduate studies in economics.
Educational goals :
i) Understand the basic principles of supply and demand
ii) Identify the different types of market and how they work
iii) Analyze the major macroeconomic variables and their interaction
iv) Understand economic policies and their impact on the national economy v) Develop a critical mind in the face of current economic debates
