About this subject
In this subject you will undertake research into current economic issues and apply economic concepts and frameworks to critically analyse problems and suggest appropriate public policy responses to them. You will learn how the forces of demand and supply coordinate the behaviour of individuals and businesses in the market and how government policy settings affect those market outcomes. You will study the decisions that businesses make in determining how much to produce and at what cost and analyse how the market structure and public policy settings affects firms’ choices. From an economy-wide perspective, you will investigate how to measure economic activity, inflation and unemployment, and you will examine the factors that influence these variables and the impacts on individuals, businesses and governments.
