This course enables students to understand the operations of value chains in the national and the global context. In order to make the interdependencies of value chains transparent, this course introduces students to the functioning of markets and the role of governments. While the economic concepts we deal with apply more generally, we have a special eye on applications to the bioeconomy. We will use quantitative methods, but economic math tends to be simpler than Math taught to undergraduates at universities. The course paves the ground for subsequent semi-elective Economics modules.
