Introduction to economic policy
Einführung in die Wirtschaftspolitik
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 15:19:21
Abstract
First approach to the theory of economic policy
Objective
First approach to the theory of economic policy with a distinction made between the microeconomic approach (regulatory policy, allocation policy, competition policy) and the macroeconomic approach (fiscal policy, monetary policy, growth policy). Case studies with reference to Switzerland build the bridge from the theory to the practice of economic policy.
Content
Den Studierenden soll ein erster Zugang zur Theorie der Wirtschaftspolitik eröffnet werden, wobei zwischen einem - mikroökonomischen Zugang (Ordnungspolitik, Allokationspolitik, Wettbewerbspolitik) und einem - makroökonomischen Zugang (Fiskalpolitik, Geldpolitik, Wachstums- und Strukturpolitik) unterschieden wird. Anwendungsbeispiele mit einem Bezug zur Schweiz stellen eine Verbindung zwischen der Theorie und der Praxis der Wirtschaftspolitik her.
