Microecnomics

The course provides an introduction to a core area of economics known as microeconomics. It considers the operation of a market economy and the problem of how best to allocate society's scarce resources. The course considers the way in which various decision making units in the economy (individuals and firms) make their consumption and production decisions and how these decisions are coordinated. It considers the laws of supply and demand, and introduces the theory of the firm, and its components, production and cost theories and models of market structure. The various causes of market failure are assessed, and consideration is given to public policies designed to correct this market failure.

Microeconomics is the study of how decisions are made by consumers and suppliers, how these decisions determine the allocation of scarce resources in the marketplace, and how public policy can influence market outcomes for better or worse. A basic understanding of microeconomics is essential to the study of macroeconomics because “micro” provides the foundations upon which “macro” is built. It is pointless to try to explain, for example, the demand for money and how it affects interest rates in the economy without a grasp of how suppliers and buyers interact in a market. The objective of this supplement to MACROECONOMICS: An Introduction, Third Edition is to provide a relatively compact overview of microeconomics for use in a course where micro is not a prerequisite for macro, and for students who want to brush up on their micro.

Economists think of there being two sides to a market, the demand side and the supply side. The demand side consists of economic agents, households and sometimes firms, who come to the market to buy a specific good or service. The supply side consists of the suppliers of the good or service, generally firms that produce the item. In markets for final goods, which are ready for consumption, the demanders are usually the consumers in the household sector; for example, someone buying a croissant. However, in the case of capital goods, it is a firm that is the buyer of the final good; for example, a bakery buying a new automated oven. There are also markets for intermediate goods where the buyers are firms purchasing a good or service used in the production of another good or service, for example bakeries purchasing flour from millers, or millers purchasing wheat from farmers.

We study the demand and supply sides of markets separately, because each involves different groups of agents. Within each group there is a common goal but the two groups have very distinct goals. Buyers all come to the market with the same goal of getting as much satisfaction, or what economists call utility, as they can from their limited budget. Suppliers are maximizing profit by using the factors of production - land, labour, capital, and entrepreneurship, - as effectively as possible, given the costs of those factors and the price at which they can sell their product.

Macroeconomics

The field of economics is often broken down into two broad categories, which are: Macroeconomics and Microeconomics. Macroeconomics is a branch of economics that describes and explains economic processes and behavior of aggregates—income, employment, output, and so on—on a national scale. Throughout the history, the economy of any country went through four important phases considered as phases of the business cycles of the GDP (Gross Domestic Product). GDP as an important indicator in Macroeconomics is used to determine the value of all goods and services produced in the country and it examines the output growth of a country and how countries are getting better from a year to the next.

The subjects of the course are macroeconomic issues including the calculation of the real and nominal GDP, dealing with inflation and explaining some economic costs of inflation and causes of inflation (The demand-side effects and the supply-side effects). It also contains the unemployment in a country and explains the types of unemployment. GDP per capital is used in the course to make a comparison among countries to examine which country is better off. Recently, HDI (Human Development Index) indicator, which is developed by the UN, is used to calculating development of the countries since the indicator takes into accounts three important parts to examine the progressing of the countries which are: the health, education and wealth.

Two of the most important theories which can be studied throughout this course are the monetary and Macroeconomic theories that focus on some specific areas as follows:

  • The quantity theory of money.
  • Money and Inflation.
  • The velocity of circulation. This course is designed for students interested in understanding macroeconomic issues related to calculating the economic growth of countries and how countries are progressing. Since counties with higher GDP per capita can have higher standard of living and can afford better health care for their individuals and can also afford better education systems. The objective of the course is also to familiarize students with different types of unemployment since it has become a contemporary phenomenon in every corner in the world especially in our country.

Moreover, The course has been designed also to teach students the monetary policy tools that are the dominant forces in financial markets and always play a huge role in the macroeconomics to solve many economic problems including the inflation (a sustained increase in the general price level of all goods produced and services offered in an economy over a period of time).

The target clientele are students who enjoyed their macroeconomics class and would like more advanced course that will give them a way of thinking about contemporary economic issues. This course will be differentiated by its emphasis on both the theoretical and practical considerations that guide the making of monetary policy around the world. At the end of this course, students would be able to:

  1. Identify the main streams of economic thought from the past to the present and relate them to the ongoing debates about public policy and the role of the government in the economy.
  2. Use basic economic concepts and theoretical ideas when analyzing current economic problems and assessing the problems, prospects and possibilities for the economy.
  3. Recognize how fundamental economic institutions such as property rights, a well-developed legal system, and market incentives affect the functioning of the economy, how institutional arrangements such as households, businesses and governments affect the process of production and distribution of goods and services, and how particular government agencies, business establishments and global economic institutions operate and affect the economy and the lives of individuals.

Microeconomics

The course provides an introduction to a core area of economics known as microeconomics. It considers the operation of a market economy and the problem of how best to allocate society's scarce resources. The course considers the way in which various decision making units in the economy (individuals and firms) make their consumption and production decisions and how these decisions are coordinated. It considers the laws of supply and demand, and introduces the theory of the firm, and its components, production and cost theories and models of market structure. The various causes of market failure are assessed, and consideration is given to public policies designed to correct this market failure.

Microeconomics is the study of how decisions are made by consumers and suppliers, how these decisions determine the allocation of scarce resources in the marketplace, and how public policy can influence market outcomes for better or worse. A basic understanding of microeconomics is essential to the study of macroeconomics because “micro” provides the foundations upon which “macro” is built. It is pointless to try to explain, for example, the demand for money and how it affects interest rates in the economy without a grasp of how suppliers and buyers interact in a market. The objective of this supplement to MACROECONOMICS: An Introduction, Third Edition is to provide a relatively compact overview of microeconomics for use in a course where micro is not a prerequisite for macro, and for students who want to brush up on their micro.

Economists think of there being two sides to a market, the demand side and the supply side. The demand side consists of economic agents, households and sometimes firms, who come to the market to buy a specific good or service. The supply side consists of the suppliers of the good or service, generally firms that produce the item. In markets for final goods, which are ready for consumption, the demanders are usually the consumers in the household sector; for example, someone buying a croissant. However, in the case of capital goods, it is a firm that is the buyer of the final good; for example, a bakery buying a new automated oven. There are also markets for intermediate goods where the buyers are firms purchasing a good or service used in the production of another good or service, for example bakeries purchasing flour from millers, or millers purchasing wheat from farmers.

We study the demand and supply sides of markets separately, because each involves different groups of agents. Within each group there is a common goal but the two groups have very distinct goals. Buyers all come to the market with the same goal of getting as much satisfaction, or what economists call utility, as they can from their limited budget. Suppliers are maximizing profit by using the factors of production - land, labour, capital, and entrepreneurship, - as effectively as possible, given the costs of those factors and the price at which they can sell their product.

Principles of Accounting I

Introduces financial accounting theory, including the accounting cycle, analysis and recording of transactions, and reporting financial information in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). This is the first term of the traditional accounting principles sequence. The course emphasizes the theoretical foundations of accounting and analytical skills needed by business and accounting students. Those with financial record-keeping responsibilities in their current employment will find it essential.  An understanding of accounting is necessary to examine the performance and financial health of business. For this reason, accounting is often referred to as the ‘language of business’. This course is the ideal way for students to acquire a valuable skill as well as begin to develop an appreciation of the role of accounting in the evaluation and management of a business. Accordingly, it is recommended as a course both for students interested in business generally, and for those planning a career in accounting. Upon completion of the course students will be able to:

  1. Use debit and credit accounting to record and adjust basic business transactions.
  2. Prepare multi-step income statements, classified balance sheets, and statements of retained earnings.
  3. Use basic financial statement ratio analysis to evaluate financial performance.
  4.  Demonstrate knowledge of each step in the accounting cycle.
  5. Know and apply organizational internal control components.  
  6. Use Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) to record common business transactions involving merchandise inventory, cash, and accounts receivable transactions.

Intro. to Financial systems

An important component of modern economies is the financial system. Particularly since the 1980s, the “fictionalization” of the economies across the globe, with the unprecedented influence of capital markets and their intermediaries that this process has involved, has had increasingly visible effects on households and firms. Modern financial development, including innovations of financial instruments and institutions, has drastically increased the borrowing and savings opportunities of households and firms. However, there is also an increasing awareness that economies are now deeply interlinked and their performance is subject to greater volatility than in the past. 

The course enhances students' understanding of how financial markets operate, with an emphasis on their impact upon the economy. With the guidance of the instructor, students will explore the functioning of financial markets and how they shape behaviors, constraints and opportunities in key economic areas that households, firms, financial intermediaries and policy makers operate in. We attempt to provide a key contribution to students’ understanding of the role of finance and financial institutions and how they deliver positive economic outcomes in significant ways. The Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) are what you should be able to demonstrate by the end of this course, if you participate fully in learning activities and successfully complete the assessment items. On successful completion of the course, you should be able to: 1. Demonstrate understanding of interconnections between finance and the economy. 2. Identify problems arising in the functioning of financial markets and intermediaries.3. Demonstrate understanding of how firms, households, financial intermediaries and policy makers interact to shape the interconnection between finance and the economy. 4. Provide arguments for a sound policy intervention that alleviates some of the problems arising from volatility of real and financial markets. 5. Evaluate the evolution of financial markets within mature economies. 6. Evaluate the costs of unregulated financial markets. 7. Construct economic arguments and written work which are logically and professionally presented. 8. Communicate ideas in a succinct and clear manner. 9. Evaluate the costs and benefits of working in teams. 10. Appreciate the real (economic and social) effects of financial markets and inter mediation in unregulated environments and participate in discussion on how best to achieve socially desirable outcomes from the interaction between finance and the economy. 11. Understand the cultural aspect of value creation in financial markets and how cultural factors may impact upon financial markets' volatility and vulnerability.
