In this course, you will learn about frontier topics in diverse fields of economics that are highly relevant for business and managers today. We will cover selected principles and policies that characterise the macroeconomy and the labour market, with reference to developed and developing economies, as well as emerging economies. The course will focus on theories and applications of economic growth, unemployment, global inequality and policies related to shocks, volatilities and vulnerabilities. The theories will be tested using modern empirical methods popular in the literature. There will be special cases of emerging economies that will be studied. The module will provide you with an insight of the potential and limits of economic policy and implications for businesses.
