デヴィッド・ケネット教授(Professor David Kennett)の授業内容
"Introduction to the Study of Economic System"
The objective of this intensive course was to introduce students with a limited background in economics to the study of comparative economics: how different economic systems deal with the fundamental questions of what to produce, how to produce it and how the resultant gains in welfare are distributed. The course initially discussed why and how economic systems change under population pressures and changing technology. Then the focus turned to a discussion on market economies and under what conditions markets function efficiently and how they correct economic disequilibria. In conclusion we examined problems of market failure: asymmetric information, monopoly, public goods and externalities and discussed under what circumstances and how government intervention might correct these problems. Examination was by student presentation.
