The subject places a strong emphasis on the practical use of microeconomic tools to analyse contemporary economic challenges.
Through a mix of theoretical analysis and policy-focused case studies, students will develop a deeper understanding of how microeconomics is used to address complex economic problems in both domestic and international contexts. The course is designed to provide a broad foundation in applied microeconomics, equipping students with analytical skills that are relevant across multiple fields of economics.
