This is a tailored course designed for the  students of Advanced program, the National Economics University (NEU). Its purpose is to develop the students’ understanding of how the theoretical aspects of conducting a research and writing a report can be applied to a practical project. Business – related topics are encouraged (but not compulsory) to help students apply their learnt knowledge in a business project. 

Economics is the study of how society manages its scarce resources. Economics has been divided into the subcategories of microeconomics and macroeconomics. While macroeconomics studies aggregate issues related to national and international economic activities, this course - microeconomics - focuses on the behavior of individual economic agents. Microeconomics studies how households (or individuals), business (or firms, enterprises) and the government make decisions, given the resource scarcity. It also studies the interactions among those market members and how these interactions have impacts on their economic benefits and the economy. Because most of these activities occur in the markets, this course also focuses on how the markets work.
