Cíle předmětu

The EKE13-00-MIC course introduces basic economic categories and relationships among them to the students. It explains the most important principles of macroeconomics, economic growth, national and international economics and functioning of the market mechanism. The theory of financial markets, monetary and fiscal policy, inflation, unemployment, international markets, and economic development are also an important part of the course. The students will be using an analytical approach when solving both theoretical and practical problems related to economic processes in microeconomics.

The EKE13-00-MAC course is a theoretical follow-up of the Macroeconomics EK014. These two courses are aimed to be a basis for applied economics in Enterprise economics EKE003.
The follow up course on the master’s level is EKE113 Macroeconomics.

Objectives: Overview of the economic system, functioning of the market mechanism from the aggregate point of view on both national and international levels.

Competence: After passing the course the student should be able to analyze the basic economic processes within the economic system at the national and international economic levels, in particular market situations. This should contribute towards his social competences.

Skills: Passing the course should help the student feel comfortable in the real economic world at the level of national and international economics and the student should upon passing be able to solve basic economic tasks. This skill should be a basis for successful performance in the management positions at operational or middle management levels. The ability to analyze and evaluate the behavior of the entities under the existing macroeconomic conditions is the key of the course. After the relevant course seminars the student should be able to contribute to discussing theoretical problems and their application in the real economic life.
