Economics

This course is offered for senior undergraduates majoring in economics and management. This course aims to introduce the role of the government in a market where the equilibrium of competition is "failed", and to cultivate students' ability to analyze real regulatory issues using the relevant principles of microeconomic theory and industrial organization theory.

This course will emphasize the importance of market structure, corporate interaction and industrial performance, and focus on the complementary role of regulation and the market. This course will be divided into four parts: the first part will briefly introduce the economics of regulation, the second part will study anti-monopoly, and the third and fourth parts will study economic regulation and social regulation respectively.

This course is targeted at students who are interested in real estate investments as an alternative to equity investments. The theory can be applied to analyses of real estate markets in different countries, including the US and Denmark, and students will relate the theory to US and Danish real estate market statistics.

The course is designed to equip students with experience, knowledge, and skills for succeeding in globally interdependent and culturally diverse workplaces. During the course, students are challenged to question, reflect upon, and respond thoughtfully to the issues they observe and encounter in the internship setting and local host environment. Professional and personal development skills as defined by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), such as critical thinking, teamwork, and diversity are cultivated. Assignments focus on building a portfolio that highlights those competencies and their application to workplace skills. The hybrid nature of the course allows students to develop their skills in a self-paced environment with face-to-face meetings and check-ins to frame their intercultural internship experience. Students complete 45 hours of in-person and asynchronous online learning activities and 225-300 hours at the internship placement.
