Research School of Economics · ANU College of Business and Economics
This course will bring in practicing economists from the Australian Public Service and Industry and leading researchers to discuss how economics is used in the formulation of public policy and in finding solutions to a number of interesting real-world problems. We will explore the boundaries and interactions of economic theory, practical application and the interplay of politics, institutions and differing view points. Economics 2(H) is taught alongside ECON2102 Macroeconomics 2 with additional contact hours a week. This extension course is designed for the better performing students who want to extend their exposure to economics beyond that offered in the standard second year theory courses in microeconomics and macroeconomics. As such, students enrolling in this course should have achieved at least a credit (above 60%) for Microeconomics 2 (ECON2101).
