National Economic Management

Program Description

National Economic Management builds on the generalisations about the national economy from the Preliminary Course and examines the nature of economic management, its international context and problems and issues of contemporary economic management. This topic examines national economic management and is an extension of the learnings from the Preliminary Course topic: the Government Sector. It commences with a review of the objectives of government macro-economic policy and investigates the instruments of government fiscal, monetary, prices and incomes and external economic policy. The topic concludes with an evaluation of the objectives of government micro-economic policy and its policy measures to promote the efficient operation of markets.

Program Highlights

Economic analysis can be applied throughout society, as in business, finance, healthcare, and government. Economic analyses may also be applied to such diverse subjects as crime, education, the family, law, politics, religion, social institutions, war, science, and the environment. Education, for example, requires time, effort, and expenses, plus the foregone income and experience, yet these losses can be weighted against future benefits education may bring to the agent or the economy. At the turn of the 21st century, the expanding domain of economics in the social sciences has been described as economic imperialism. The ultimate goal of economics is to improve the living conditions of people in their everyday life.

The main cause of a pending application is usually incomplete application documents. As a result you will be requested by the school’s admission office to re-check and modify all submitted application documents or perhaps even add extra documents and then re-submit them.
