| Aim | The aim of the course is to develop further the economic thinking of doctoral students, as well as to stimulate the doctoral students to use the important microeconomic concepts in real research and evaluation of economic or social policy. Both traditional applications of microeconomics (e.g. impact of social programmes on Labour Supply; employee motivation models; quality selection models) and less traditional ones will be considered: economic models of the legal system; model of migration policy; models of family relations, etc. |
