Introduction to Microeconomics in the Real World

Description

Introduction to Microeconomics in the Real World is a complete course of Microeconomics theory and practice. While beginners should have no difficulties, intermediate and advanced students will also satisfy their curiosity. Since the very first classes, we will base our lectures on practical examples and by the end of the course, you will be able to do complex regression analysis for a real company. It will enable you to answer questions such as how much sales should you expect in the upcoming periods, what are the main factors affecting your company sales, and a lot more. Not only you will better understand and manage any company in a business, but also you will be able to act more rationally as a customer simply because you know the rules of the game.

My name is Lilit, and I will be guiding you throughout the course. I am a high performing lecturer at Canada Summer Overseas and my courses at udemy currently have more than 500 students. Besides my teaching experience, I also have in-depth experience at both financial and industrial companies.

Thank you and feel free to watch the sample lecture. Waiting for you to join us at the Introduction to Microeconomics in the Real World course.
