Thus students will acquire basic knowledge of the mechanism of functioning of the system of national accounts, they will be knowledgeable in the area of analysis of internal and external equilibrium and conjunctural analysis and last but not least they will acquire knowledge of basic assumptions and practical procedures used in international comparisons.
