By the end of this course, students will have a strong grasp of the major issues of microeconomics, including consumer and producer behavior, the nature of supply and demand, the different kinds of markets and how they function, and the welfare outcomes of consumers and producers.

Synopsis: An increasing share of our economy is based on digital goods and services, which constitute the core of what is termed the digital economy. This course will introduce the economics of the digital economy. The digital economy is characterized by transient market behaviour, feedback mechanisms, international impact, many stakeholders, and technological dependence. The main aim is for students to understand the logic of the digital economy's structures, i.e., why these structures lead to certain outcomes - such as the large market power of some companies or non-monetary pricing. Understanding the digital economy does not require brand-new economic theories. Instead, it needs a different emphasis on factors that are also present in the traditional economy. This course will also refer to behavioural insights to understand why consumers (or users) and producers (or suppliers) might behave differently in the digital domain as compared to the physical domain by incorporating some case studies for reference. The Digital Economy offers an up-to-date, critical synthesis that links the various aspects of the digital or cyber economy from the perspective of real firms' applications. The Digital Economy is an important reference for students and scholars getting to grips with this enormous contemporary phenomenon.
