ECONOMICS AND MEASUREMENT (course by Gregory Ponthiere)
This course aims to providing an original introduction to economics under the prism of its measures, of all the things that economists quantify for the sake of discovering the laws (nomos) of good management of the social domain (oikos). The course will take the form of a workshop ("cours atelier"). Students will participate actively to the collective construction of knowledge, through reading and presenting research articles about measurement in different areas (economic performance and activity, poverty, well-being), and by writing a short essay.
All materials will be posted on Moodle.
