| 授業の目的 【日本語】 | | | | | 授業の目的 【英語】 | | | Analyzing and designing development policies require a deep understanding of the behavior of economic agents such as consumers, producers, and the government. The Development Microeconomics course is designed to equip students with advanced knowledge of microeconomics and practical skills to study economic problems and market behavior. The understanding of the microeconomic foundations of several development problems will be used to discuss policy choices and outcomes in different contexts. Students who complete this course will develop an understanding of the economic environment in which firms operate, and will be able to employ various microeconomic theories to analyze markets and household decisions. |
