Cíle předmětu
The aim of the course is to introduce the basics of the classical approach to microeconomic theory and thus create a general background for learning special economic disciplines in the following years of study. Having completed the course, students will be able to define basic economic categories and principles from the point of view of current microeconomic theory, give reasons for the behaviour of individual market actors at specific markets as well as to discuss the equilibrium at the market for goods, services and factors of production. Students will be able to define the optimal rational behaviour for households and businesses, assess the market behaviour under the perfect and imperfect competition assumptions, evaluate market failures and define the microeconomic policy of a state.
