The acquired knowledge allows students to understand the interconnections between economic variables and relationships; the tradeoff between different uses of resources; the tendency towards market equilibria; the role of fiscal and monetary policies; the complexity  of economic adjustments and the difference between their action in the short, medium and long run.
