| 1 | Asset Pricing and Capital Budgeting | EBP032A05 |
| Value and value creation are central concepts of Corporate Finance. The value of an asset depends on the size, the timing and the risk of the expected cash flows generated by an asset. In this course you will learn how to determine the risk-adjusted cost of capital. You will apply these techniques to valuing of shares and bonds and to investment decisions of a firm. The analysis of investments will show you the relation between financial accounting and corporate finance. Next, the financing decisions of firms will be dealt with, taking into account institutional aspects of capital markets and the efficiency of these markets. |

| 5 | Behavioural and Experimental Economics | EBB086A05 |
As the name suggests, this course has two main themes: behavioural economics and experimental economics. They are interconnected, as behavioral economics (BE) is typically informed by insights from experimental research.
Introduction to behavioral economics:
Oftentimes, we are not the flawless, time-consistent maximizers of our own expected utility that neoclassical rational choice theory assumes us to be. Instead, we tend to make choices that are not in our long-run self-interest. For example, we delay unpleasant tasks and are tempted by short-term pleasures. Our choices are susceptible to the framing of decision-making problems because our cognitive abilities to solve them are limited. Also, we are willing to sacrifice our own interests to help others. The behavioral economics part of the course will teach you the basic theories that describe the above behaviors, including basic prospect theory, hyperbolic discounting and theories of fairness and altruism.
Introduction to experimental economics:
Experimental economics (EE) can be viewed both as a research methodology and as a research field – we will discuss both of these in the course. You will get acquainted with the terminology and standards of experimental economics and the main types of experiments. We will discuss experimental research on various topics (e.g. market experiments, game theory experiments, labor market experiments). We will make a direct connection to behavioral economics by discussing experimental evidence on the behavioral view of human decision-making. We will not only talk about experiments but also do some classroom experiments ourselves during classes. There will also be a group assignment, where the task is to work out a proposal for an economic experiment. You will present this proposal in class, incorporate the feedback that you get, and write up the research proposal as a paper.
Note that the schedule is irregular as the course is front-loaded with lectures. In the first three weeks there will be three lectures per week; in the next two weeks two lectures per week, and in the last two weeks one lecture per week. The reason for this front-loading is that 25% of the grade is based on an assignment: the abovementioned research proposal for an experiment. To be able to write this assignment, students should learn about the experimental methodology and the types of experiments first - hence the many lectures in the first few weeks. For the exact times please consult the website rooster.rug.nl |

| 7 | Boekhouden A&C | EBB017B05 |
| Boekhouden vervult een vitale rol in het verschaffen van informatie die nodig is om de consquenties voor de resultaatbepaling (resultatenrekening) en vermogenspositie (balans) van bedrijfsprocessen te doorgronden. Het vak ligt daardoor in belangrijke mate ten grondslag aan het functioneren van accountants en controllers in organisaties: het kunnen beoordelen van de kwaliteit van die informatie en de totstandkoming ervan (boekingsprocessen), alsmede het kunnen doen van aanbevelingen hoe die kwaliteit te verbeteren. Uit de beschreven leerdoelen blijkt welke thema's bij uitstek voor het voetlicht moeten en zullen worden gebracht. |

| 9 | Corporate Financial Restructuring | EBB088A05 |
| Corporate finance assumes that managerial actions on corporate strategies increase market value or shareholders’ wealth. Corporations implement several strategies for financial restructuring. Merger and acquisitions (M&As) and diversification are growth strategies, a divestiture is a downsizing strategy, and leveraged buyouts or going private are strategies to change ownership. M&As, in particular, are worldwide common strategies estimated to be worth trillions of US dollars. Therefore, they can have a considerable impact on both domestic and global economies. Interestingly, empirical studies have found results that those strategies do not always create value. It is clear that corporate restructuring activities occur in highly complex environments where strategies provide unique opportunities with considerable risk. This course deals with the causes and consequences of those complex activities on creating value. Students are expected to understand the theoretical foundations that explain the reason as well as the observed or real effects of financial restructuring activities on corporate value and performance. Students are required to work in teams to prepare presentations of research papers and case studies and also to write a team paper about their analysis on value creation of a real life example of M&A or restructuring activities. |

| 10 | Corporate Governance for A&C | EBB099B05 |
Onder invloed van spraakmakende schandalen als Ahold, Enron en Parmalat evenals de financiële crisis is de aandacht hebben voor en regelgeving op het gebied van corporate governance sterk toegenomen. Hierbij kan onder meer gedacht worden aan de invoering van de Sarbanes-Oxley Wet in de Verenigde Staten en de wettelijke verankering van de Nederlandse corporate governance code, ook wel beter bekend als de Code Tabaksblat. Daarbij komen onderwerpen als besturen en beheersen, verantwoordelijkheid en zeggenschap en verantwoording en toezicht aan de orde.
In deze cursus wordt aandacht besteed aan corporate governance aspecten die de positie en het functioneren van controllers en accountants beïnvloeden. Daarbij kan worden gedacht aan internationale verschillen in de wijze waarop bestuurs- en toezichtstructuren vorm hebben gekregen, het functioneren van boards, de rol van media en kredietbeoordelaars binnen corporate governance en de wijze waarop met corporate governance codes wordt omgegaan. De onderwerpen worden hoofdzakelijk behandeld vanuit wetenschappelijk onderzoek. |

| 12 | Culture and Economics | EBB090A05 |
In this course, we discuss the increasingly recognized role of culture (interpreted as shared values, norms and beliefs) on economic behaviour and outcomes. The course consists of two parts. In the first two introductory lectures, we sketch a general overview how cultural differences in recent years have been theoretically and empirically linked to differences in economic outcomes and the conduct of international business respectively. This recent trend is positioned against the background of a discussion why economics traditionally used to ignore cultural explanations, and how it struggles to incorporate cultural factors now.
The second part of the course consists of three lectures, in which we go deeper into the impact of values, norms and beliefs for economic behavior and outcomes. One lecture deals with the impact of differences in attitudes and value orientations for economic behavior; another with the impact of differences in norms about kinship and family relations; a third about the role of differences in religious beliefs on political and economic outcomes. At the end of the course, students should be aware of the cultural contingency of economic outcomes and behaviors, and be able to relate form an informed assessment of the promises of cultural explanations in economic thought. |

| 23 | Financial Accounting for E&BE | EBP802B05 |
| Financial accounting provides a vital service by supplying information that decision makers need to make reasoned choices among alternative uses of scarce resources in the conduct of business and economic activities. To that end, accounting measures business activities by recording data about them for future use, by processing them to useful information and by communicating them to decision makers through financial reports. The topics in this course are the administration and processing of various financial transactions, the preparation of the accounts (balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement) and the analysis and interpretation of the financial performance and financial position of companies. |

| 24 | Financial Statement Analysis for A&C | EBB116A05 |
| Financial statements represent the basis for a wide range of business analysis techniques. Managers use them to monitor their firms' performances relative to competitors, to inform external investors, to help in determining new financial policies, and to calibrate their investment strategy by evaluating potential new acquisitions. Security analysts use them to rate and value companies on which they issue recommendations. Bankers use them to determine in deciding whether to extend a loan to a client and to determine loan's terms and potential extensions.

| 25 | Financial Statement Analysis for E&BE | EBB081A05 |
Financial statements represent the basis for a wide range of business analysis techniques.
Managers use them to monitor their firms' performance relative to competitors, to inform external investors, to help in determining new financial policies, and to calibrate their investment strategy by evaluating potential new acquisitions.
Security analysts use them to rate and value companies on which they issue recommendations.
Bankers use them to determine loans’ terms and potential lending extensions.
Investment bankers use them as a basis for valuing and analyzing prospective M&As.
Consultants use them in performing competitive analyses between their clients and peer companies.
Overall, this course provides a framework for using financial statement data in a wide variety of business analysis and valuation contexts. |

| 26 | Global Corporate Taxation | EBB121A05 |
In dit vak staat centraal hoe het gedrag van bedrijven wordt beïnvloed doordat zij in de landen waarin zij opereren vennootschapsbelasting en de voorheffingen op die belasting (dividendbelasting, en in de meeste landen ook interestbelasting en royaltybelasting) moeten betalen, alsmede hoe de fiscale wetgever - staten en Europese Unie, daarbij geadviseerd door de Organisatie voor Economische Samenwerking - dat gedrag probeert te beïnvloeden. Mits het belang van de vennootschapsbelasting en de voorheffingen voor investerings- en financieringsbeslissingen en de vestigingsplaatskeuze tijdig wordt onderkend, kan de omvang van de (wereldwijd) verschuldigde vennootschapsbelasting en de effecten daarvan op de kasstromen aanzienlijk worden beperkt. Een andere factor die de kasstromen gunstig beïnvloedt is het op juiste wijze tijdig aan de verplichtingen voldoen en een adequate rapportage hierover richting stakeholders. Daardoor worden boetes, maar ook reputatieschade vermeden.
Dit vak geeft een introductie op de betekenis van de vennootschapsbelasting en de daarop betrekking hebbende rapportageverplichtingen voor internationaal opererende ondernemingen. |

| Globalization is a fact of daily life: trade becomes easier, firms increasingly fragment production, migration flows are growing, financial markets reach ever further across the globe, and governments are part of growing political unions. This course studies trends in globalization and its impacts on local workers, capital markets, government and economic growth. Students develop an understanding of the effects of the global economy in national economies. The course introduces students to empirical methods used in research on globalization, especially strategies to sort out causal effects from correlations. Students also learn to form a critical opinion based on the popular-scientific as well as academic literature of the course. |

| 31 | Growth and Development Economics | EBB811B05 |
| Why are some countries richer than others? What are the main determinants of successful development? Why do some countries grow rapidly, while others are left behind? And what does this mean for people in those countries: who are the poor and what can we learn about inequality within and between countries? By applying empirical techniques and theoretical models, you will gain a deeper understanding of the driving forces of development. We will discuss topics such as the measurement of income differences, inequality and poverty; the interplay of inequality and growth; the role of structural change and linkages between sectors in development; and the role of government, geography, natural resources and culture in stimulating or hindering the process of growth and development. |

| 32 | Growth, Institutions and Business | EBB022A05 |
| Economists are increasingly aware of the fact that path dependency characterizes processes of economic growth. Choices made by economic actors in the past have a far-reaching influence on the nature and rate of growth in later periods. Economic behaviour which at first sight might seem unfamiliar and even irrational, can be quite logical when the historical context is taken into account. We focus on the question of prime determinants of growth and change. We will analyse to what extent economic growth is driven by factor substitution and/or the introduction of new (general purpose) technologies. We will then pay attention to fundamentals of growth, like institutions and culture and geography in shaping development. In our discussion the main economic growth models will receive ample attention. Additionally, the application of a historical and comparative perspective gives insights in deeply engrained differences and the impact of variety on economic growth. |

| 33 | Health Economics | EBB120A05 |
Health economics is a subfield of economics. It can be described as applying economic principles to analyse health and healthcare.
This course offers an introduction to health economics. It aims to give you an introduction to key concepts in health economics and to describe how health economics may inform policy debates worldwide.
In this course, we explore and discuss how economic principles can be applied to health and healthcare. We focus on the characteristics of health and healthcare in high income countries. We describe the supply side (e.g. medical doctors) and demand side (e.g. people already with medical conditions, as well as other individuals facing uncertain future health outcomes) of healthcare markets. We explore a canonical model of individual decision-making with regard to health, as well as the socioeconomic context in which such decisions are made. We consider insurance markets for healthcare and ways in which they may fail. We discuss the pros and cons of government intervention in attempts to correct for market failure. Finally, we examine how economic decisions are made regarding the introduction of new healthcare interventions. |

| 34 | History of Economic Thought | EBB934A05 |
| History of economic thought presents the development of a sci-ence as an historical process and a continuous debate, which in-volves far more than simply selecting the right and rejecting the wrong theories. In this course we study changes in ideas of what constitutes good economics, focusing on three key formative periods: classical economics, the marginal revolution, and the birth of macroeconomics. The approach is partly chronological and partly conceptual, as ideas from the philosophy and sociology of science will be used to explain how economic theories change. The study of economic theories will be based on writings of key economists of the past, like Smith, Jevons and Keynes. |

| 35 | Human Resource Management for BE | EBB065A05 |
| Human resource is one of the most vital factors shaping an organization’s success or failure. In contemporary business, managing human resources in organizations (Human Resource Management, HRM) is about aligning the work that people do with the overall organizational strategy to achieve corporate successes, and also about fueling people’s self-actualization and prosper. Traditionally, HRM decisions involve job designs and assignments, recruitment and selection, assessment, motivation, rewards and the separation of employees. In response to the trend of globalization in today’s business, diversity and cross-culture have also become crucial concerns in HRM. These HRM decisions have far-reaching consequences, including not only financial gains/losses and legal implications for the organization but also employability, productivity, and wellbeing of individuals within the organization. This course aims to help you understand what HRM decisions are and how to effectively manage corporate human resources in order to boost both corporate gains and individual successes. In addition, understanding HRM will likely help you to traverse relevant HRM skills (e.g., interview performance and negotiation skills) at current or future jobs that you will pursue following your education. |

| 37 | Innovation and Productivity | EBB094A05 |
| Innovation is the main engine of growth and, especially for advanced economies, the main source of increases in our standard of living. Yet what determines the success of firms and countries in a world where innovation plays a central role? This course takes an economic view to the topic of innovation and productivity, by considering how and why firms choose to innovate and how these decisions are influenced by the government and universities in a national innovation system. We will analyse the effect on innovation of systems of intellectual property rights as well the role of competition between firms. Furthermore, the course covers both the micro-level decisions by firms, as well as the macroeconomic outcomes: how to measure innovation and its outcomes and how to relate these to economic output and productivity. |

| 38 | Intermediate Asset Pricing | EBB084A05 |
| Intermediate Asset Pricing is a course about financial markets, and particularly about the financial assets that are traded in these markets. The course first sets the scene by giving an overview of the various types of financial assets that are available, and the ways in which these instruments are traded. Subsequently, it elaborates on valuing financial assets. For this purpose, modern portfolio theory and the Capital Asset Pricing Model will be discussed. The course will also discuss debt instruments and their associated yields. A final issue will be the valuation of derivative instruments, including financial options. Central themes throughout the course will be the informational efficiency of financial markets and the trade-off between risk and return. Both themes will be presented as corner stones of valuation. |

| 39 | Intermediate Corporate Finance | EBB079B05 |
| In this course, the lessons learnt from studying the valuation of financial assets, will be applied to the valuation of real assets, such as factories and machines. Various methods for real asset valuation will be considered, including the Weighted-Average-Cost-of-Capital method, the Adjusted Present Value method and real options approaches. Also ways to derive expected future cash flows (being an important input for real asset valuations) from accounting statements and other information will be discussed. In addition to the valuation of real assets, the financing of firms will be covered in this course. Taking the irrelevance theorem as a starting point, the course will explore the consequences of, for instance, taxes, agency problems and information asymmetries, on the capital structure of firms. A similar set of arguments will be applied to firms' pay-out policies. |

| The focus of the course are the fundamental microeconomics tools that economists use to explain a variety of social phenomena. Topics covered are: what economics is about, consumer and producer theory, partial market equilibrium, general equilibrium theory, market failures, uncertainty and asymmetric information. Next to the textbook, a number of empirical papers will be studied to gain understanding how microeconomic theory is used in applied research to answer questions like for example: Do higher gasoline prices shift auto-purchases towards more fuel-efficient vehicles? Are tax incentives for charitable giving efficient? Upon completion of this course, you will know how to do computations with the standard models and to explain the fundamental economic intuition associated with these models to a non-technical audience. You will gain experience in reading applied microeconomic studies and giving a well-founded assessment of the quality, scope and external validity of these studies. Faced with real-life problems, you will be able to construct theories to describe and explain the behavior of firms, consumers and markets. |

We horen het vaak als het fout gaat. Bijvoorbeeld als bedrijven foute cijfers rapporteren, of overheidsorganisaties grote projecten niet in de hand houden. Maar waar leer je hoe het wel moet? Bij het vak Internal Control!
Iedere organisatie is afhankelijk van informatie om processen aan te sturen en te beheersen. Bovendien wordt bepaalde informatie ook aan de buitenwereld gerapporteerd, denk aan het jaarverslag. Een van de kenmerken van informatie is de betrouwbaarheid. Organisaties hebben specifieke kenmerken (typologiekenmerken) die eisen stellen aan de inrichting van de bedrijfsprocessen (“cycles”) en het Accounting Information System (AIS), om de betrouwbaarheid van informatie te waarborgen. IT speelt een belangrijk rol in een AIS en kan een grote invloed hebben op het ontwerp van de beheersingsmaatregelen. |

| 44 | International Business for E&BE | EBP808C05 |
| International business deals with economic transactions amongst individuals, groups or organizations across national geographical borders. It deals with issues such as why does a particular country produce particular goods or services? Why and when does a company in one country deal with companies in other countries? What is a multinational enterprise and how are they different from domestic enterprises? This course introduces the core concepts related to globalization and global business, with a focus on developments in the triad, i.e. the US, the EU and Japan and in emerging markets. The perspective of this course is that of the multinational firm in its economic environment, addressing issues of primary importance to multinational enterprises (MNEs) such as the international competitive environment, the internal resources of multinational enterprises, and the origins of their competitive advantage, which are embedded in combinations of country-specific and firm-specific advantages. This course thus serves as an introduction to the domain of international business strategy. |

| The course is structured around plenary lectures and interactive teaching activities that relate to real-world cases. The course is organized along the lines of seven teaching cycles that offer a guided tour on principles of international business strategy. The heart of the course is a series of group meetings during which students analyze and discuss real-world business cases, extensively relying on and referring to the theory presented in the selected reading material (the course literature). Throughout the course, students (grouped in teams) will develop, execute and present their own research project, which aims at applying the theory learned in the course on a study of a Fortune 500 multinational company. Additionally, plenary lectures target the development of applied academic research in the international business strategy field, by discussing additional academic journal articles. The insights communicated during the plenary lectures are part of the final exam. |

| 49 | Labour Economics | EBB840A05 |
| The market that allocates workers to jobs and coordinates employment decisions is the labour market. The labour market is unique; non-pecuniary factors, such as work environment, risk of injury, personalities of managers, perceptions of fair treatment, and flexibility of work hours, loom larger in employment transactions than they do in markets for commodities. Furthermore, a host of institutions and pieces of legislation that influence the employment relationship do not exist in other markets. Labour economics is the study of the workings and outcomes of the labour market. The main subjects in this course are labour supply and demand, wages and productivity, inequalities and discrimination, collective bargaining, macroeconomic and regional economic issues of unemployment, international migration and labour market policy. |

In het vak Loonbelasting komen de loonbelasting en de premieheffing volks- en werknemersverzekeringen aan de orde. Vrijwel alle werknemers die in Nederland in dienst zijn bij een werkgever betalen loonbelasting. Hetzelfde geldt voor mensen met een uitkering. De manier waarop het loon en daarover verschuldigde belasting worden berekend en betaald aan de fiscus is het voornaamste onderwerp van dit vak. Daarnaast is er aandacht voor de premieheffing werknemersverzekeringen. Uit deze premies wordt een groot aantal in Nederland geldende uitkeringen voor werknemers betaald.
De benodigde wetteksten voor de premieheffing volks- en werknemersverzekeringen komen óf op Studentportal (Nestor) te staan óf worden in de vorm van een syllabus aangeboden. |

| 51 | Macroeconomics for E&BE | EBP812B05 |
| Macroeconomics is the study of the economy as a whole. This course provides an introduction into the field of macroeconomics. It focuses on key macroeconomic concepts such as national income, interest rates, exchange rates, the balance of trade, unemployment, inflation etc. In the course, simple macroeconomic models are introduced to explain the relationships between macroeconomic variables. These models deal with the short-run economy as well as the long run economy. These models, in turn, are used to analyze the effects of fiscal and monetary policy in the economy. |

| 52 | Management Accounting for BE | EBB846C05 |
| Management Accounting for Business Economics (in short: MA for BE) gives an introduction into the fields of management accounting and management control. Whereas financial accounting provides information used primarily by investors, creditors and other stakeholders outside the organisation, management accounting focusses on information used by managers and employees inside the organisation. MA for BE introduces various management accounting concepts and techniques (e.g. variable/fixed costs, relevant/irrelevant information), and stresses that different pieces of information must be used for different purposes. The course discusses costing systems and pays attention to several techniques used to produce information for insiders. These techniques are: 1) cost estimation, 2) cost-volume-profit analysis, 3) cost accumulation; tracing, and allocation, 4) differential analysis, 5) budgeting, 6) variance analysis, and 7) responsibility accounting. Although much of the information produced through management accounting techniques is financial in nature, the course demonstrates that this information must often be combined with non-financial, qualitative information. We will also stress the role of management accountants in the production and communication of information for managers. |

| 53 | Management Control for A&C | EBB102B05 |
| The course Management Control discusses various instruments and systems in the field of management accounting and management control. These instruments and systems can help managers to increase the sharing of goals between the employees, as well as their cooperation, so that the attainment of organizational goals is facilitated. They can also supply information for decision making and control in organizations. Cases and exercises provide the students with hands on experience concerning these instruments and systems. Although computational skills will play some role in the course, they are certainly not its main focus. Of greater importance are the problems of choosing the most appropriate instruments and systems in a specific situation and the issue how general management can use the accounting information and other information in their tasks of decision making and planning & control. Different factors can influence the role and function of management accounting and control in organizations. On the basis of the course book and various articles the control instruments and their organizational context are discussed. Short case studies will be used to learn about these issues. Students will work on exercises and cases in small teams. Each team will also give a presentation on a specific subject using additional literature and propositions, and/or write a short case report. |

| This course takes a second look at microeconomic theory. We focus on the strategic interaction between firms. When firms set prices or quantities, they have to take into account how other firms may react to such choices. We study such interactions, using the tools of game theory. Amongst others, we study the strategies firms could use to gain an advantage over their competitors; how and when firms may be able to fix prices and how they may keep potential competitors out of their market. |

| 60 | Microeconomics for E&BE: Consumers&Firms | EBP819B05 |
| This course deals with the basic principles of microeconomic theory. Every day, consumers make decisions about the purchase of goods and services, while companies continuously decide what their product range will include and in what quantities they will supply their products. In most economies, the decisions of consumers and producers are coordinated through markets by means of the price mechanism. Prices are a measure of scarcity. Microeconomics deals with the individual decisions of consumers and producers and their coordination through the price mechanism. It studies the behavior of companies on markets and how this behavior contributes to social welfare. Many, if not most, courses in the bachelor E&BE build upon microeconomic principles. Hence, a thorough understanding of these principles is necessary. |

De omzetbelasting is een algemene verbruiksbelasting die de particuliere bestedingen wenst te treffen. Aandacht zal vooral worden besteed aan heffingstechniek, zoals deze in de wet gestalte is gegeven en aan de invloed van de EG-richtlijnen op de Nederlandse omzetbelasting. Gezien het grote aandeel van deze belasting in de nationale en Europese middelen is een grondige kennis van structuur en theorie onontbeerlijk. Het vak bestaat uit hoor- en werkcolleges. Deze colleges worden gevolgd samen met de studenten fiscaal recht en fiscale economie die het 10-puntsvak Omzet- en overdrachtsbelasting volgen.

| 63 | Operations and Logistics Management | EBB068A05 |
| Nowadays, no organization operates in isolation: contemporary organizations are part of (often global) networks of suppliers, producers, distributors, retailers, and consumers that make up a'supply chain'. The fundamental objective of this course is to help students understand the role of companies in such a network consisting of (international) suppliers and buyers. The main topics treated are supply strategy, outsourcing, characteristics of both service and manufacturing operational processes, distribution and after sales operations, and the various decision-making processes concerned with these topics. In addition to these aspects, a number of decision support tools will be introduced which are used to assess the supply chain performance and analyze and design flows of goods and services. Hence, this course intends to provide basic knowledge of operations and global supply chains management. |

| 64 | Philosophy and Ethics of Business | EBB069A05 |
| Capitalism, shareholder wealth, employee rights, consumer freedom, obligations towards suppliers and competitors, civil society and the government—moral and political questions abound in business. But research in moral psychology shows that we often fail to see what is morally important about a situation. And if we do see it, we often don’t know how to deal with it. And even if we know how to deal with it, we often don’t act accordingly. This course takes a practical approach to business ethics. Its main objectives are to foster sensitivity to moral and philosophical aspects of decision making in business; to teach analytic skills that help you take a position in moral debates and to give a reasonable justification for your position; and to develop ways to successfully cope with dilemmas and issues that arise in business. We examine the main theories in the philosophy of business, business ethics, and moral psychology; we consider specific issues concerning capitalism and the theory of the firm, employees, consumers and other stakeholders; and we look at ways in which business interacts with NGOs, governments and civil society in a context of globalisation and focussed on sustainability. |

| 66 | Privaatrecht voor niet-juristen | RGAPR70205 |
Privaatrecht is het recht tussen burgers onderling. Het vak bouwt voort op Inleiding Recht voor niet-juristen. Iedereen komt in het dagelijks leven op uiteenlopende wijze in aanraking met het privaatrecht. In een collegecyclus van 6 weken passeert in feite het leven van elke dag, en de rol van het privaatrecht daarin, de revue.
Kan ik zonder toestemming van mijn echtgenoot met geleend geld gaan beleggen (DEXIA) of een bedrijf kopen? Delen al mijn kinderen op gelijke wijze in mijn nalatenschap? Mag ik mijn (oudste) zoon bevoordelen? Waaraan ben ik gebonden als ik per e-mail een abonnement voor een mobiele telefoon afsluit? En als ik in een te enthousiaste bui een huis koop, kan ik dan nog terug? En wat als de grond vervuild blijkt te zijn, of de garage vijftien centimeter over de grens blijkt te zijn gebouwd?
Op het gebied van letselschade geeft het leven tal van treurigheden te zien: heb ik als ouder een claim jegens de dronken automobilist die voor mijn ogen mijn kind doodrijdt? En tegen ZOO BV als een Bokito mij onverwacht aanvalt?
Kortom, relevante vragen van alledag worden in een juridisch kader geplaatst. Na afloop van dit vak heeft u inzicht in belangrijke privaatrechtelijk leerstukken en het vermogen om de daarmee samenhangende juridische vraagstukken te beoordelen. U leest de krant anders, beslist! |

| 67 | Public Finance | EBB861A05 |
| What should be the role of government in a market economy? How can we predict whether a proposed government program is likely to improve welfare? How should tax systems be designed to promote economic efficiency and to be consistent with basic views of fairness? The first part of this course focuses on basic welfare economics and the theory of public expenditure (public goods, externalities, public choice). We then move on to the sources of government spending: taxation and debt financing. We analyse the distribution of tax burdens and the efficiency and equity aspects of taxation. We discuss the pros and cons of debt financing, the burden of government debt for future generations and the dangers of running a deficit. The last part is devoted to decentralization, the financial relation between different layers of government and local taxation. |

| 71 | Trade Policy and Economic Integration | EBB125A05 |
| We first focus on the theory of trade policies. What are the welfare implications of introducing quotas, tariffs and providing export subsidies? How are these welfare changes distributed among trade partners and groups of agents (such as producers and consumers) within these? Second, we focus on European economic integration. Which economic and political factors led to the European Union and its predecessors? How are decision-making processes designed, what are the main advantages and disadvantages of the increasing economic integration and what are the main aspects of EU trade policies? |
