#2 R: GCBA, GDipBA, MBA | RP: MGTS7801

Inc: ECON2010 or 2400 or 7003 or 7010

or 7011 or MEBS7103

Economics focuses on choices between alternative ways of

using resources and the consequences of these choices, which

often have to be made in the face of problems associated with

the availability of information and the limitations to knowledge.

These choices concern issues such as what to consume, what to

produce, how to produce it, how to organise production between

different economic entities, and what prices to charge. Choices

taken by individuals need to be coordinated to avoid wasted

opportunities; the more so that specialisation is taking place

at the level of the individual, firm or national economy. A major

coordinating role is played by price mechanisms, i.e., adjustments

in relative prices and the incentives provided by profits and losses.

However, much coordination is achieved via the use of planning

and institutions. Even with coordination assisted by these devices

coordination failures can still occur, such as major slumps in

employment and international trade. Economic theory can help to

assess when these problems are likely and how they may be

dealt with.

The global financial crisis has focused public attention on the

business for economic activity to generate its revenues from

between the two parties. Globalisation is the background theme

to how government and business play out their respective

roles. This course takes an international view of the subject,

questions like: Is it necessarily the case that ‘what is good for

business is good for the country’? Are governments better than

business at running a business? Is competition only possible with

government help? Will global warming change everything? What

does all this mean for public policy?
