Economic theories can fill textbooks, but policies are what shape markets, influence behaviour, and steer entire nations. This course, Applied Economics and Policies, takes you beyond the textbook and into the engine room of decision-making—where economic models meet real institutional action. You'll explore how policies are used to stabilise economies, influence inflation, manage employment, and guide development, all through the lens of applied economic analysis.

From fiscal and monetary policies to trade, taxation, and welfare strategies, the course dives into the why, how, and what-next of economic policies. You’ll examine case studies, study the ripple effects of different policies, and learn how to assess the effectiveness of economic decisions. Whether you’re working in finance, research, governance, or just want to decode the daily headlines, this course builds a structured foundation in understanding how applied economics and policies are interconnected—and why that matters more than ever.
