Despite the Doha declaration of November 2001, the failure to start a new round of global trade negotiations at Seattle in December 1999 and the hostility of protesters to the trade liberalization process and growing global economic and social disparities was a wake-up call for the World Trade Organisation (WTO). 2002 Level: avancé The WTO, Agriculture and Sustainable Development Heinrich Wohlmeyer, Theodor Quendler Greenleaf "Leveraged" provides an authoritative guide to the new economics of our crisis-filled century with a focus on financial crises and financial economics. 2022 Level: expert Leveraged Moritz Schularick University of Chicago Press This report to the DEFRA summarizes the main approaches, opportunities and difficulties that come with individual carbon trading. 2006 Level: avancé A Rough Guide To Individual Carbon Trading Simon Roberts and Joshua Thumim, for the Centre for Sustainable Energy Departement for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) The book deals with the financial instability hypothesis of Hyman P.

This book argues that orthodox, modern neoclassical economics does not fulfil this core task. Standard economics models do not address the real functioning of our market economies, but rather an imagined economy. 2022 Level: débutant Economics and the Real World Joaquim Vergés Ethics International Press Ltd, UK This self-paced free course by Perry Merhling guides you to his "Money View" approach that integrates the fields of economics and finance.

Micaela Mastropietro Pluralist Economics Fellowship In this essay the author reviews empirical studies in economics that analyze factors behind the rise of nationalist and populist parties in Western countries. He stresses that economic factors (e.g., trade shocks and economic crisis) play a crucial role in the rise of populist parties; however, the discussion of mechanisms driving this trend remains unsatisfying 2019 Level: avancé The Economics of Populism in the Present Felix Kersting Exploring Economics An essay of the writing workshop on contemporary issues in the field of Nigerian economics: In Nigeria, it appears that there is nothing in the constitution, which excludes the participation of women in politics. Yet, when it comes to actual practice, there is extensive discrimination. The under-representation of women in political participation gained root due to the patriarchal practice inherent in our society, much of which were obvious from pre-colonial era till date. Level: débutant Women Participation – Women Contribution to Economics and Politics Mary Otunba Exploring Economics How countries achieve long-term GDP growth is up there with the most important topics in economics. As Nobel Laureate Robert Lucas put it “the consequences for human welfare involved in questions like these are simply staggering: once one starts to think about them, it is hard to think about anything else.” Ricardo Hausmann et al take a refreshing approach to this question in their Atlas of Economic Complexity. They argue a country’s growth depends on the complexity of its economy: it must have a diverse economy which produces a wide variety of products, including ones that cannot be produced much elsewhere. The Atlas goes into detail on exactly what complexity means, how it fits the data, and what this implies for development. Below I will offer a summary of their arguments, including some cool data visualisations. 2020 Level: débutant GDP Growth: It’s Complicated Cahal Moran Rethinking Economics One method of economic modelling that has become increasingly popular in academia, government and the private sector is Agent Based Models, or ABM. These simulate the actions and interactions of thousands or even millions of people to try to understand the economy – for this reason ABM was once described to me as being “like Sim City without the graphics”. One advantage of ABM is that it is flexible, since you can choose how many agents there are (an agent just means some kind of 'economic decision maker' like a firm, consumer, worker or government); how they behave (do they use complicated or simple rules to make decisions?); as well as the environment they act in, then just run the simulation and see what happens as they interact over time. 2020 Level: débutant Agents, agents everywhere Cahal Moran Rethinking Economics If there’s one method economists have neglected the most, it’s qualitative research. Whereas economists favour mathematical models and statistics, qualitative research seeks to understand the world through intensive investigation of particular circumstances, which usually entails interviewing people directly about their experiences. While this may sound simple to quantitative types the style, purpose, context, and interpretation of an interview can vary widely. Because of this variety, I have written a longer post than usual on this topic rather than doing it a disservice. Having said that, examples of qualitative research in economics are sadly scant enough that it doesn’t warrant multiple posts. In this post I will introduce qualitative research in general with nods to several applications including the study of firm behaviour, race, Austrian economics, and health economics. More than usual I will utilise block quotes, which I feel is in the spirit of the topic. 2020 Level: débutant Qualitative Methods in Economics: "You Can Observe a Lot Just by Watching" Cahal Moran Rethinking Economics This course introduces students to the relevance of gender relations in economics as a discipline and in economic processes and outcomes. The course covers three main components of gender in economics and the economy: (1) the gendered nature of the construction and reproduction of economic theory and thought; (2) the relevance and role of gender in economic decision-making; and (3) differences in economic outcomes based on gender. We wil touch on the relevance of gender and gender relations in at least each of the following topics: economic theory; the history of economic thought; human capital accumulation; labor market discrimination; macroeconomic policy, including gender budgeting; household economics; basic econometrics; and economic crises. 2019 Level: débutant Gender Relations and Economics Alyssa Schneebaum Vienna University of Economics and Business The course will teach students to analyze the goals, implementation, and outcomes of economic policy. 2019 Level: avancé Advanced Economic Policy Alyssa Schneebaum Vienna University of Economics and Business The course will teach students to analyze the goals, implementation, and outcomes of economic policy. 2018 Level: avancé Advanced Economic Policy 2 Alyssa Schneebaum Vienna University of Economics and Business This module examines current socio-political issues through the lens of pluralism, that is pluralism of theory, pluralism of method and interdisciplinary pluralism 2020 Level: débutant Pluralist Economic Analysis Sophia Kuehnlenz Manchester Metropolitan University Participants should be able to distinguish the strictly non-cooperative (methodological individualist) foundations of traditional neoclassical economics as being couched in self-interested individuals, as well as having basic knowledge of an alternative set of theories based on the primacy cooperation and social norms and extending the breadth of economic analysis beyond exchange. 2021 Level: débutant Cooperative Economics Jerome Warren Summer Academy for Pluralist Economics ‘We cannot afford their peace & We cannot bear their wars’: ​​​​​​​Value, Exploitation, Profitability Crises & ‘Rectification’ 2022 Level: débutant Political Economy based on Marx Elena Papagiannaki Summer Academy 2022 for Pluralist Economics Health Economics traditionally involves two distinct strands. One focuses on the application of core  neoclassical economic theories of the firm, the consumer and the market to health-seeking behaviour  and other health issues. It suggests a role for government intervention only in the case of specific  market failures (for example externalities, asymmetric information, moral hazard, and public goods)  that distort market outcomes. The second strand is evaluation techniques, used to assess the cost effectiveness of competing health interventions. 2022 Level: débutant Health Economics Julia Ngozi Chukwuma Summer Academy 2022 for Pluralist Economics Capitalism is dissolving boundaries - not only in the sense of ever-expanding global trade flows, but also in the concrete everyday working lives of individuals.

Samuel Decker Exploring Economics The chapter by the Centre for Economy Studies introduces interdisciplinary economic subdisciplines and their importance for economics education. 2021 Level: débutant Interdisciplinary Economics Sam de Muijnck and Joris Tieleman Economy Studies In 18th century Europe figures such as Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Friedrich List and Jean Baptiste Colbert developed theories regarding international trade, which either embraced free trade seeing it as a positive sum game or recommended more cautious and strategic approaches to trade seeing it as a potential danger and a rivalry and often as a zero-sum game. What about today? 2016 Level: débutant Free trade in economic theories Exploring Economics Exploring Economics Caring activities are one central element of feminist economists' analysis – also since in particular unremunerated work is a blind spot in mainstream economics and most other economic paradigms. Those focus on the market sphere: activities are considered as productive and as real labour if they are remunerated and market-intermediated. Goods and services are considered as labour if they create a value which can be traded on the market. Feminist Economics remarks that this perspective creates certain dichotomies and consequent devaluations: unproductive – productive; private – public; unpaid – remunerated OR paid less – well paid; female – male; soft work – hard work; caring – rationality. 2016 Level: débutant Reproductive Labour and Care Exploring Economics Exploring Economics An Introduction to the Political Theory of John Maynard Keynes.
