2024 Microeconomics
Microeconomics is a core branch of economics studying behaviors of individuals (e.g., consumers and workers) and organizations (e.g., firms and governments). Why does someone buy the latest iPhone? Why do some firms spend a lot of money on advertisements? Why does the price of gasoline change a lot every day, but not the price of “phở”? These, and many others, are questions that microeconomics aims to answer. Microeconomics 1 equips you with fundamental concepts and principles. You will get to know how economics studies behaviors and learn standard theories that explain behaviors of consumers and firms, and the basic working of the market.
2024 Applied Macroeconomics (Wednesday)
Macroeconomics is a core branch of economics dealing with performance, structure, behavior, and decision-making of an economy as a whole. Why do some countries get rich and some others stay poor? Why do economies boom and bust? Why do prices tend to go up over time, sometimes very fast? Why are financial crises so devastating, and why are some people afraid that Bitcoin is going to trigger one? These, and many others, are questions that macroeconomics aims to answer. In the first year, you learned fundamental concepts and theories in macroeconomics. This course, Applied Macroeconomics, aims to equip you with a systemic conceptual framework of the macroeconomy, an in-depth understanding of macroeconomic data, and analytical skills needed to apply this framework to understand important real-world macroeconomic phenomena.
