Objectifs pédagogiques
This course introduces economics through the application of economic principles to contemporary economic issues.
Economics, which is primarily concerned with the allocation of scarce resources, can be described as the study of decision-making when applied to the individual (or micro) level and can be described as the study of the economy as a whole when applied at the larger macro level.
Learning objectives:
- Understand the process of economic growth and the sources of growth: accumulation of factors and increase in total factor productivity; understand the link between technical progress and the increase in total factor productivity.
- Understand that technical progress is endogenous and that it results in particular from innovation.
- Understand how institutions (in particular property rights) influence growth by affecting the incentive to invest and innovate; understand that innovation is accompanied by a process of creative destruction.
- Understand how technical progress can lead to income inequality.
- Understand that sustainable economic growth comes up against ecological limits (in particular resource depletion, pollution and global warming) and that innovation can help to push back these limits.
