Course description

The purpose of the course is to give students a thorough understanding of the analytical tools and principles of economics that are applied to the behaviour of individual decision makers, both consumers and producers. Lectures cover:

a.  Consumer theory: Preferences and utility. Budget constraint. Optimal Choice. Income and substitution effects. Deriving individual and aggregate demand curves. Elasticities. Consumer surplus.

b.  Production and cost theory: Inputs and production functions. Supply function. Cost minimization and cost curves. Profit maximization.

The successful completion of this course should help students understand the nature and scope of formal microeconomic analysis and how it can be applied.  It also offers a rigorous presentation of theoretical and applied models of individual optimization expressed in mathematical terms.

Prerequisites: Knowledge of introductory elements of economics and mathematical calculus is taken for granted.

Overview: Public finance is the branch of economics that analyzes the role of government in the economy. In this course will use the basic tools of economics to analyze the prevailing views of what government does and what it could and should do. We will then look at what the public sector actually does, how it uses taxes and public spending, and how it affects individual and corporate decision-making and social welfare.

Prerequisites:
Intermediate Microeconomics is an essential prerequisite for this course. The course will assume a competency at roughly the level of intermediate books like Varian, or Nicholson. In addition, it is critical that you have a reasonable level of mathematical skills. Calculus (derivation and integration), solving systems of equations, and a few other tools will be used.

Text Books: The recommended textbook for the course is:

Rosen, Harvey S. & Ted Gayer Public Finance, 9th or 8th Edition. New
York: McGraw-Hill, 2008.

Two very good textbooks that could be used as alternatives are the following:
1. Stiglitz, J. E., Economics of the Public Sector, W. W. Norton & Co., 3rd Edition, 2000.

2. Gruber Jonathan Public Finance and Public Policy, 3rd edition, Worth
Publishers, 2011.


Evaluation: There will be a number of assignments (3 or 4), all of which will count for 15%, of the final grade. There will be a final exam which will count for the 85% of the final grade.

1rst Semester (Winter) 

Prof. Pantelis Kostis ( pkostis[at]econ.uoa[dot]gr) 

e-class : https://eclass.uoa.gr/main/login_form.php?next=%2Fcourses%2FECON964%2F

The course "Human Resources and Development" covers a broad array of topics centered on the role of human capital in economic growth and societal development. It explores major economic growth theories and the crucial role of human resources within these frameworks. A key focus is on human capital as an intangible asset, significantly contributing to productivity and economic expansion. The course investigates how inputs such as labor, education, and skills influence GDP growth while addressing the "unexplained part" of economic growth that remains a focal point in economic research. Additionally, it examines the relationship between population growth and economic development, with perspectives such as Malthusian theory and modern demographic transitions. Topics like birth rates, mortality, life expectancy, and migration are explored globally and specifically in Greece, particularly following the post-war era.

Further, the course examines population policies, family planning, and the effects of urbanization and rural-to-urban migration on economic structures. Human development is analyzed through metrics like the Human Development Index and the Better Life Index, which reflect economic well-being, quality of life, and happiness. The course also addresses the importance of education as an investment in human capital, exploring its impact on both individual productivity and societal growth. Another significant focus is on health disparities, the relationship between health and economic development, and the efficiency of healthcare systems, especially in times of economic or social crisis. Lastly, the course delves into cultural dimensions, poverty, and inequality, analyzing how these factors interact with human resources to shape sustainable economic development.

ECTS: 7

Grades: International students are asked to prepare an essay on topics covered in the course and present their work in class.
