Study period: Winter or Spring

Level: Basic

Examination: Attendance and Essay

Prerequisites: Microeconomics

Course content: This course explains principles of the social-scientific study of religion, with special emphasis on the economic and New Institutional Economics approaches. Whereas psychologists and sociologists usually interpret religious belief and behaviour in terms of ignorance, irrationality and indoctrination, economists claim that rational self-interest shapes the choices of religious ―consumers‖ and ―producers‖. The course presents economic theories of the interrelation of religion and economic behaviour as well as of the role of religion in contemporary society.

Main topics: Social-scientific and economic approaches to the study of religion, Economic theories of individual religious belief and non-belief, Economics of religious institutions, The influence of religion on markets and economic behaviour, The influence of religion on economic and social outcomes.

ECTS credits: 4

Lecture hours: Lecture: 30 hours Study period: Spring semester Level: Intermediate Location: Wroclaw

(14)

Examination: Case study, essay and attendance Language: English

Prerequisites: Microeconomics and Macroeconomics

Course content: This course‘s main goal is to provide the basis for economic analysis of public policy issues and focus on the economic role of the public sector (i.e. government) in the economy.

The course will start with the general discussion about market efficiency connected with market and government failure analysis. This will lead to the brief description of public and publicly provided goods and finally a public choice theory and the analysis of bureaucracy. The next major topic will be externalities and its impact on public policy.

Within the scope of these theories we will discuss specific policies of public sector: healthcare, education, social insurance, welfare programs etc. We will finish this part of the course with the analysis of taxation theories.

Last part of the course will be dedicated towards voting and political decisions as basic to all public choices.

INDUSTRIAL ORGANISATION

Code: INOR 09/10

ECTS credits: 4

Lecture hours: Lecture and case study: 30 hours Study period: Winter or spring semester

Level: Intermediate Location: Wroclaw

Examination: Case study, essay and attendance Language: English

Prerequisites: Microeconomics and Macroeconomics

Course content: In economics, studies in the field of the industrial organisation consist of the analysis of imperfect competitive markets, i.e., markets where a company is able to apply market power and establish a price above marginal cost. Industrial organisation uses microeconomics' models (both static and dynamic) as well as the game theory to describe various aspects of firms, industries and markets. The ultimate goal of the course is to discuss the influence of government on markets, exerted to create more competitive structures. Throughout the course we will discuss case studies mainly from our European markets rather then American ones.

The course will start with the overview of the theory of firms and costs and the description of different market structures. This will be applied to the analysis of monopolies and monopoly practices. The course will also discuss concentration in individual markets, entry and exit issues and mergers.

The next part of the course will begin from the short overview of game theory and its application to the analysis of oligopolistic behaviour – together with basic microeconomics tools we will study cartels and the entry in both pricing and non-pricing strategies.

The last part of the course will give an overview of business practices – product differentiation and advertising strategies, research and

development, price discrimination and vertical relationships and

integration. The course will end with the discussion about regulation and deregulation.

INFRASTRUCTURE IN SOCIAL AND

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Code: ISED 09/10

ECTS credits: 4

Lecture hours: 30 hours

Level: Master studies

Examination: Written work and its presentation during the lecture

Prerequisites: Microeconomics, macroeconomics

Course content: The aim of this lecture is to show the significance of technical and social infrastructure mainly by presenting its place in local and regional development, and in the latest theories concerning economic growth. The infrastructure should be fitted to other developmental factors (also non-material) so that it amplifies the development. Only an active approach to infrastructure gives an opportunity to use the whole development potential, therefore it is one of the most important tasks of the local and regional authorities. The specific character of infrastructure requires special tools to carry out and to finance infrastructural investments. All of these aspects will be discussed during the classes.

The student will acquire the knowledge which will contribute to the better understanding of the problems concerning the meaning of infrastructure in spatial development process.
