Detailed Information

ECON10040 - Economics and Society (Credit) - 2017

This module is about applying economics to understand the world around you. We do not assume that students have previously taken economics. The focus is on economics in practice, rather than in theory. It requires no previous knowledge of the subject, and the course is intended to cater particularly for those who may never take another course in economics. In recent years, topics that we have discussed topics such as how incentives affect behaviour, insights from behavioural economics, auctions, externalities and public goods and discrimination in the labour market.
