About this course

This is an economics course about the economic impact of the 2018 World Cup. (Macro economics and micro economics) By basing the course around the World Cup we make the subject , relevant, approachable and Economics actually becomes…. easy!

We look at the impact of the World Cup on various countries but also consider the economic theory behind this impact.

Macro economics concepts include:

The multiplier

Inflation

Economic growth

Unemployment

International trade

Aggregate demand

Injections/leakages

Government economic policy

Balance of payments

Economies:


Russia

France

UK

USA

Croatia

We also apply game theory to penalty shoot-outs. (Football) The course starts off with the 2014 World Cup but quickly moves on to the impact of hosting the football tournament, of qualifying (or not) and actually winning he final.

We also consider controversies and…Pussy Riot!

Although the course is looking at the World Cup, make no mistake, this is all economics, economics, economics!
