During this lecture students are familiarised with basic features of macro-economics. Building up on this, the ability is enhanced to judge on preconditions and development options for the overall economy. The role of public and private institution will become recognisable. In this sense, students will be able to draw directly on information from appropriate publications (statistics, reports from national and international organisations, research institutes…). They will thus be able to consider specific situations in this larger context. Private or professional decisions will be seen in this larger context, and can also be communicated as such.
