Previous teaching

Ec355: Public Economics

Description:

This module analyses the economic rationale for “collective choice” in a market economy. We will consider measures of social welfare, equity and efficiency. We will evaluate the government’s ability to identify and achieve “better” outcomes, particularly under a democratic process. We will consider the economic case for interventions to redress market failures, to redistribute resources, and to provide public goods and services. This module is also applied: we will discuss and compare actual and proposed programmes in the UK and abroad in the areas of poverty reduction, education, and health

EC951: Economics of Organisational Management (Masters)

Description: This module incorporates basic “principal-agent” contract theory in the context of hidden information and hidden actions, the modern theory of the firm, and incentive theory in light of empirical evidence, incorporating recent behavioural models. Applications include the optimal compensation of CEO’s, the “make or buy” decision, motivating team performance, and the impact of an altruistic manager.
