Business Economics and Public Policy presents the fundamental ideas of managerial economics and international economics and their applications in business decision making. Individuals, companies and governments all operate within an economic environment that influence their decision making. Managerial economics focuses on how individual consumers and business interact in the market and how managers make strategic decision under various market structures. International economics discusses how changes in macroeconomic activities, interest rates, inflation, exchange rates, and government policies affect the economic environment that firms operate in. The goal of this course is to build your understanding of these mechanisms and develop your analytical skills to make optional business decisions.
