introduction

European Economics INT 356. ESSCA

Lesson N° 10. Crises and Crashes

Instructions

Due to the current health crisis, this lesson will be available on my website only (reesonomics.eu). It will not be available on TEAMS since I don't have a microphone that fits my computer! Lesson N° 9 on the economies of scale will be available later, along with all the other lessons.

Since the Covid19 health crisis is the start of another probable economic crisis, I have included the aspect of health and economic crises into the lesson.
I apologise in advance for the mediocre video and sound quality.
Please note - for the fiscal policy presentations, I am still missing the 'unemployment benefit' team's presentation. The marks for all groups will be given once I have received this missing presentation. Please remember to only use the two e-mail addresses given on my website (under 'Contact'). Do not use the ESSCA address.

1. Open the website (reesonomics.eu/European Economics/lesson 10 Crises and Crashes)
2. Watch the introductory video
