Výstupy z učení
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the basics of economics and economic thinking and to teach them to independently carry out microeconomic analysis of economic decision-making of individual economic subjects (households and companies).
A student who has successfully completed the course can: define the basic concepts and contexts of economics and characterize key thought stages of its development, analyze the functioning of the supply-demand model in the process of achieving market equilibrium, to characterize the economic behavior of the consumer and to distinguish the cardinalistic and ordinalistic approach in achieving the consumer's optimum (balance) to distinguish and characterize the flow of time in microeconomics, to define in this context the production function, the production quantity, the concept of cost, income and profit in economics, distinguish and analyze individual forms of market structures, compare them with each other and clarify the principle of forming a company balance based on maximizing profit to describe the particularities of the functioning of production factor markets and their individual forms (labor, land and capital markets), to clarify the modified profit maximization rule and to characterize the principle of achieving a firm's balance in the factor markets to explain the nature of market failures, their causes and consequences, to characterize and analyze individual manifestations of microeconomic market failures, including how to address them. A student who has successfully completed the course can: to solve graphically and numerically the issue of achieving the limits of production possibilities and market equilibrium, to calculate the price elasticity coefficients of demand and supply and to interpret the results correctly, graphically and mathematically express individual categories of consumer benefits, use tools of indifferent analysis and use them to construct a model of economic consumer optimum, to express graphically and mathematically the production function, production quantities, costs, income and profit, to use isoproduct analysis tools and to construct a cost optimum model of the company with their use, graphically illustrate and calculate a company's equilibrium condition in a perfect and imperfect competition model in the markets of final production and production factor markets assuming profit maximization use mathematical formulas to determine the degree of market power and interpret them comprehensibly graphically illustrate and clearly interpret the Lorenz curve and calculate the Gini coefficient. The student who has successfully completed the course is able to: to include in their problem solving consideration of their economic and ethical dimension; to communicate in a clear and convincing way to professionals and lay people information on the nature of professional issues and their own opinion on their solution.
