About this course
This is an economics course about the economic impact of the 2018 World Cup. (Macro economics and micro economics) By basing the course around the World Cup we make the subject , relevant, approachable and Economics actually becomes.... easy!
We look at the impact of the World Cup on various countries but also consider the economic theory behind this impact.
Macro economics concepts include:
The multiplier
Inflation
Economic growth
Unemployment
International trade
Aggregate demand
Injections/leakages
Government economic policy
Balance of payments
Economies:
Russia
France
UK
USA
Croatia
We also apply game theory to penalty shoot-outs. (Football) The course starts off with the 2014 World Cup but quickly moves on to the impact of hosting the football tournament, of qualifying (or not) and actually winning he final.
We also consider controversies and...Pussy Riot!
Although the course is looking at the World Cup, make no mistake, this is all economics, economics, economics!
