Course objectives
The course consists of four blocks of lectures. The history of economic thoughts is focused on the comparison of methodological approaches of the most known economic thoughts with the aim to identify the strengths and weaknesses of each economic approach. The objective of the microeconomic part is to broaden the student's knowledge in applied microeconomics. Students will be gradually familiarized with the issue of revealed preferences, with the problems of Slutsky equations and their use in purchase and sales analysis. Students will be also introduced broadly of inter-temporal consumer choice, or the market assets. The theory of the firm aims to acquaint students with the main currents of thought in the field of corporate behaviour and it provides information on basic alternative theories of the firm and their possible application in processing a doctoral dissertation. The macroeconomic part is devoted to the deepening knowledge of applied macroeconomics, analysing the behaviour of the economy as a whole in short and long run with the implications for economic policy.
