+Overview
+Economic theory and models play a crucial role in the development an
+d evaluation of public policy. However, many policymakers, analysts,
+ and key decision makers lack formal training in economics, leaving
+them with a limited understanding of the economic frameworks that in
+form policy decisions and compelling them to rely on professional ec
+onomists for insights.
+The eight-week Economics for Public Policy online certificate course
+ is designed to equip you with a solid foundation in the economic mo
+dels and theories relevant to public policy, empowering you to becom
+e literate consumers of economic data and apply economic reasoning t
+o real-world policy challenges with confidence.
+The course covers fundamental micro- and macroeconomic concepts, exp
+lores how and why governments intervene in the market, and investiga
+tes how policies can influence long-term economic development. You’l
+l gain insights from professional policymakers and economists, as we
+ll as investigate case studies that demonstrate the influence of eco
+nomic theory on policy outcomes. Throughout the course, you’ll contr
+ibute to a collaborative learning environment by exchanging ideas wi
+th peers and tutors in discussion forums.
+By the end of the course, you’ll have established the foundational k
+nowledge required to navigate the economics of public policy with co
+nfidence, as well as the practical skills to analyse and design effe
+ctive public policies.
