DESCRIPTION
Microeconomic policy is on top of the agenda when it comes to keeping individual countries on the path to stability and growth. Microeconomic structural reforms (say, in labor and product markets, social security and welfare systems) are often seen as long-run policy measures, geared at structural and sustainable solutions, and are complementary to short-term macroeconomic stabilization policies.
This course discusses the role of economic policy in the context of both market failures and government objectives to adjust market outcomes, including distributional aspects.
Contact hours listed under a course description may vary due to the combination of lecture-based and independent work required for each course therefore, CEA's recommended credits are based on the ECTS credits assigned by VU Amsterdam. 1 ECTS equals 28 contact hours assigned by VU Amsterdam.
