Learning outcomes:
After being introduced to some of the theoretical foundations of economic policy and after discussing central questions of regulative policy, students will have an opportunity to deepen the knowledge gained in earlier courses on macro- and microeconomics and apply it to important areas of concern in economic and tourism policy. Students will not only become acquainted with the instruments of economic policy and their effects, but will also learn the significance of the relevant institutional and regulatory frameworks. The overall aim is to give students insight into the potential and limitations of economic policy-making for the tourism industry, such as sustainable tourism and politico-economic aspects of tourism).
