BUEC 104 - Economics in Context

Institution:

University of New England

Subject:

Bus Admin - Economics

Description:

This two-semester course is designed to introduce the student to the fundamental concepts of neoclassical and ecological economics. We will develop an in depth understanding of the assumptions, structure, uses, and limitations of the neoclassical economic model while exploring how the model explains the allocation of goods and services in the marketplace as well as market approaches to resource depletion and environmental pollution. Fundamental concepts in ecological economic thinking will be learned and applied to environmental issues that define the natural and social realities of the 21st century. Throughout the year, emphasis will be placed on critical thinking, reading, writing and oral presentations.
