Introduction to the World of Economics
Economic 101 class provides an introduction to economic concepts that can be used to interpret national and international financial news and policy.
We will incorporate small-group and full-class activities through which students will learn about several topics such as opportunity cost, productivity, public choice, and aggregate supply and demand. We will see how these concepts relate to the decisions taken by individuals and governments.
We will also substantially utilize news reports and videos to link economic models/concepts with real life situations. What is the relationship between interest rate and economic growth? How are prices set in a free market? Why does the government come into the picture with public goods? These will be some of the questions we will cover.
