Economics, Intermediate Course, 30 Credits
The course consists of four different sub-courses.
Sub-course 1 – short run macro economics - provides in-depth knowledge of how shocks affect demand, production and employment. The course gives an understanding of the trade-off between inflation and unemployment and the roles of monetary and fiscal policy in the open economy. Attention is also paid to the analysis of the functions of the financial markets and their connections with the real economy
Sub-course 2 focuses on economic growth and distribution in a long-term global and national macroeconomic perspective. This course provides a significant insight into the content of macroeconomic theories and the understanding of long-term macroeconomic issues. Furthermore, economic growth and distribution aspects are dealt with in developing countries. The course integrates theory and empirical work.
Sub-course 3 – intermediate micro economics - provides in-depth knowledge in demand theory, production theory and decisions under risk. The course also contains a great deal of game theory, which is applied to understand behaviour in monopolies, duopolies, voting mechanisms, auctions, in the provision of public goods and in situations characterized by asymmetric information.
The final sub-course provides a broader knowledge within one of the fields of application of the Economics. In the autumn term, it is the field of health economics, while in the spring term it is environmental economics. Students are strongly advised to have studied courses corresponding at least 30 credits in statistics where basic statistics, regression analysis and mathematics are included.
