Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the subject is to familiarise students with basic knowledge in the field of theory and practice of economic policy. The subject will provide students with basic information for orientation in issues related to the position and active role of the state in a market economy. The situation will be analysed at the macroeconomic and microeconomic levels. It will focus primarily on the economic policy of the Czech Republic.
A student who has successfully completed the subject can: - characterise the role of the state in a market economy and define the role of the state and its possibilities in response to market failure; - explain the operation of the instruments by which economic policymakers influence the economic environment of the state; - describe the role of the state in individual areas of economic policy; - distinguish the features of basic economic and political concepts; - define the role of the state's economic policy within transnational institutions and international organisations. A student who has successfully completed the course is able to: - use graphic tools to illustrate the impacts of stabilisation economic policy on basic macroeconomic variables; - correctly interpret the impacts of active state policy from both a microeconomic and macroeconomic perspective; - analyse the development of basic macroeconomic variables with regard to the setting of economic policy; - be well-versed in the official websites of public institutions and search for relevant information on the setting of economic policy measures. A student who has successfully completed the course is able to: - explain clearly to experts and the general public information about the nature of professional problems in the field of economic policy; - formulate their own judgment on the setting of economic policy and orient themselves in economic policy measures.
