Course Syllabus
Abstract
Economic science doesn't stand still. It develops, reacting to those political, social, cultural nuances that the surrounding reality brings. Before our eyes, new economic terms, concepts, methods and trends are being created. Economic science is evolving. Within the framework of this course, students will have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with modern trends in economics and apply them in practice.
The course is delivered by a team of instructors, each covering the specific field of economics in which they are most deeply immersed and possess firsthand expertise in the leading publications, researchers, methodologies, and the like. Each instructor is allocated one or two sessions (2 to 4 academic hours), during which they are expected to: 1) briefly outline the key development stages of their research field, 2) map out the main frontiers of cutting-edge research over the past 5–10 years, and 3) for each area of research, provide examples of the most outstanding papers, illustrating the theoretical models, empirical methods, and practical problems addressed in these works.
Expected Learning Outcomes
- construct efficient frontiers and find the optimal portfolio by applying mean-variance analysis

- identify absolute/comparative advantage, characterise and quantify opportunity costs, identify the possible exchange ratios for mutually beneficial trade from information about production possibility frontiers
- construct trade possibility frontiers using information on the participants PPFs and the exchange ratios
