Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Conditions for awarding classified course-unit credits:
Classified course-unit credit is awarded on condition of having submitted a written assignment containing at least 12 tasks:
Two tasks regarding each of the following topics: Supply and demand; Product and pension; Income, costs and profit; Production; Elasticity; Utility.
Tasks chosen for the assignment should be worked out at least at medium difficulty level (for this purpose it is possible to use example tasks contained at the end of each chapter in the textbook Econometrics for masters' study programme or other recommended materials). The assignment has to include detailed calculations, step-by-step solution, or explanation if necessary. The assignment has to be written in relevant formal style, and has to be hand-written (if appropriate, it is possible to use graphic output from PC).

Topics of lectures:
- basic principles of economic analysis and modelling,
- supply and demand,
- market equilibrium,
- consumptions and savings,
- models of national economy, IS-LM analysis,
- incomes, costs and profits,
- production,
- elasticity of demand of supply,
- utility,
- optimalization of selected economic quantities.

Topics of exercises:
- practising of topics discussed in lectures,
- working out of individual assignments.

Not applicable.

The aim of the course is to deal in more detail with the causal substance of economic relations, and to develop abilities and skills necessary to express economic relations by exact means and consequently carry out their analyses.

Attendance at lectures is not controlled. Attendance at exercises (seminars) is compulsory and is regularly checked. A student is obliged to give reasons for his/her absence. If the teacher accepts the reason for the absence (which is completely under his/her competence), he/she will decide about the form of the compensation for the missed lessons.
