It reconstructs microeconomics from a Post-Keynesian perspective by critically examining the neoclassical model of homo economicus and developing alternative views of consumer behavior based on social norms, habits, and income constraints. The course then analyzes firm behavior in modern capitalist economies, focusing on oligopolistic market structures, pricing practices, growth objectives, and managerial\u2013shareholder conflicts. In the final part, it connects microeconomic foundations to macroeconomic outcomes by examining labor markets, wage determination, income distribution, firm-level financial fragility, and the fallacy of composition, preparing students for the macroeconomic analysis developed in Post-Keynesian Economics II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Syllabus will be published soon!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Post-Keynesian Economics II<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Building on Post-Keynesian microeconomic foundations, this course develops a comprehensive Post-Keynesian approach to macroeconomics organized around three core themes: money and finance, growth and distribution, and inflation and policy. It examines the nature of credit money, endogenous money creation, modern central bank operations, and Minsky\u2019s Financial Instability Hypothesis, before turning to effective demand, investment, capacity utilization, employment, and alternative growth regimes. In the final part, the course explores heterodox theories of inflation, including the conflicting claims approach, and compares mainstream macroeconomic policy frameworks with Post-Keynesian alternatives. Throughout, the course challenges the notion of self-correcting markets and emphasizes demand-led growth, financial fragility, and distributional conflict as defining features of modern capitalist economies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Syllabus will be published soon!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Macroeconomic Modelling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming soon&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alternative Theories of Inflation, Employment and Income Distribution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming soon&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Big Data Analytics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming soon&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Data Mining and Visualization<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming soon&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advanced Visualization Techniques<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming soon&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?client=opera&amp;hs=iLk&amp;sa=X&amp;sca_esv=6a2da25b2ac48ac6&amp;biw=1866&amp;bih=946&amp;sxsrf=AE3TifMbBlQMYYJgB9sz2yrncMb_AndV8A:1758384618215&amp;q=Engineering+Production-Grade+Shiny+Apps&amp;si=AMgyJEs03_IawLpG0pN8Imr0quNL8BRn4IwD6UzBpqKXGhmQPcP87aWrHaWUNa6HnlMZcPC7IXYdH4UQJ8yMQQAg_Vy69GkkQec4i4nd2NoJfYV2FrCds9yUHVjfdQ_WAwIeNMU3zN8goMrja2ILaOsGrd3N21C0BNzAKyBnDinIVKZsngN7zKrYD8Ptr2Lznv_uzJsSavoT&amp;ved=2ahUKEwj72K-U3eePAxVoQvEDHVoEB4AQyNoBKAB6BAgqEAA&amp;ictx=1\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turkish Economy This course introduces the historical formation of the Turkish economic system.
