There is a renewal in the emphasis of
the state as a regulator, and markets
are likely to play a more central role in
the exchange process of production
and consumption.
This will create an interesting
feedback between the macro and
micro aspects of the economy
thereby affecting wider economic
developments.
The first two semesters focus more on
the conceptual foundation of
microeconomics, macroeconomics,
statistics and mathematical methods
followed by advanced courses.
The last two semesters strengthen
their analytical and communication
skills with assignments/term papers
