Skrócony opis:

The course aims to familiarize the students with mechanisms and phenomena of economics considering the behaviour of major market system players. Thus, the theory includes basic microeconomic laws referring to market, consumer and producer, as well as the macroeconomic issues of unemployment, inflation, business cycle and national income. The context of intrinsic processes of globalization and integration will also be emphasized with special regard to causes and social effects of these processes and their impact on world’s economy.
