Synopsis

This  unit  focuses on the role and work of the professional economist
in  the development and presentation of economic policy advice.  Apart
from  emphasising applied economic analysis, the unit addresses issues
associated  with policy ideology and value judgements, the  nature  of
decision-making  in  the Australian and other economies,  the  nature,
extent  and use of economic power and potential conflict among  policy
objectives.

Students  are  required  to  complete  and  present  a  small   policy
dissertation.
