Economics
What is economics and why do we study it? how does supply and demand work how do the markets work and react to situations, does consumer choice matter.
how does poverty taxation and wealth impact the economy and what does data teach us both macro and micro, how do we cope with fluctuations and financial crises
A detailed and accessible exploration of the global economic landscape in 2007, and how a series of financial pressures and policy decisions evolved into the most severe economic crisis since the Great Depression.
We will examine the build-up to the crash, the key institutions and individuals involved, and the responses taken by governments and central banks around the world. From collapsing banks to international bailouts, we will trace how events unfolded and why their consequences were felt so widely.
Whose fault was it? Were there any winners — or only losers? And could it happen again, or have the lessons truly been learned?
A thought-provoking day designed to deepen understanding of an event that continues to shape the economic world we live in today.
Over the past decade, the discipline of Economics has undergone significant change — and the next ten years promise even more transformation. In this thought-provoking course, we will explore where economics stands today and where it may be heading in an increasingly uncertain global landscape.
What are the major challenges facing modern economies? Whose voices are shaping policy and debate? And what can economics truly offer a world grappling with climate change, technological disruption and financial instability?
Together, we will examine key developments including Behavioural Economics, Environmental Economics, and evolving approaches within Banking, Insurance and Retail Economics.
A stimulating opportunity to understand how economic thinking is adapting — and why it matters more than ever.
