| Kurzbeschreibung | This course is an introduction to the study of economics.

Students will also be introduced to the use of microeconomic thought to influence the behavior of individuals and firms and to address market failures. The second part focuses on macroeconomic concepts, including national production, employment, inflation, and growth theories.
