Civil and Commercial Law mainly deals with law issues relative to enterprise and business activities in the mainland of China. The course consists of Real Right Law, Company Law, Contract Law, Guarantee Law and Civil Procedure Law, etc.

It is a rule-oriented society. The teaching purpose of this course is to enable the students to understand the basic conceptions and principles of civil and commercial law. In addition, encourage the students to use the knowledge to resolve the related civil and commercial law issues. After the learning of this course, the undergraduates will be able to fulfill the needs of socialist market economy activities in economic management.

During the teaching process, we will carry out various teaching activities and methods, such as case study, group discussion and presentation, to improve students’ practical ability.

This course is a foundation-level econometrics course for undergraduate students, focusing mainly on the use of econometric methods to address important economic questions. 

There are two main objectives of this course. First, the course will provide students with a solid knowledge of the regression analysis with cross-sectional data, including the estimation (OLS method), evaluation, and the predication of the simple and multiple linear regression models. Beyond the basic analysis, the student will also be taught the linear probability model and how to deal with heteroskedasticity. Second, the course intends to develop the ability of students to apply econometric theory to real world examples. Students will learn to use the statistical software such as stata for empirical research in economics, but more importantly we will focus on the proper interpretation of the underlying econometrical models so that students understand when particular methods are likely to be valid or invalid.

Finance is largely the study of how to value all sorts of things, such as shares of stock, the payments left on a home mortgage, the purchase of an entire company, and the personal decision to retire early. The subareas of finance mainly entail the study of investments, financial management, financial institutions and markets, and the international finance. This course’s framework emphasizes three basic themes, the core concepts connecting to the finance theory, the business perspective views of financial decision-makings, and techniques and experiences in solving financial problems. However, most of corporate finance principles can also be applied to one’s personal life.

The objective of this course is to expose students to the financial discipline from a conceptual, analytical and pragmatic perspective. As such, the course will be conducted using a combination of course lectures and in-class discussions over problem-solving techniques and case studies. While the lecturer introduces financial discipline and the latest development, the cases offer all participants an opportunity to demonstrate their abilities in capitalizing on what has been learned from this course. 

The course requires the students to have solid economic theoretical foundation both in Macro-Micro-Economics, and Accounting Principles, while it is necessary to know the wide range of management theories and computer skills for the project work and course theses. With its distinguished course framework designing, the students will be divided into several groups to take one or two case studies or project work, do their researches and give presentation at the class. 

The purpose of having such an interactive lecturing activity, is to fill the gaps between the teaching and learning behaviors, and train the students research abilities with a specific vision in mind, train the students analytical ability by comprehensive thinking and working with his/her team members with specific practices both in written and oral presentation; train the students to have a critical mind to the most current financial issues, and to work out the feasible solutions in the financial world both theoretically and practically. 

All students are strongly encouraged to contribute to the discussions such that everyone is able to participate in the presentation and benefit from the pool of valuable, personal resources.

Industrial Organization (IO) studies the question how markets are organized and structured via the strategic interaction among firms. It also studies the role of public policies in promoting efficiency. The goal of this course is to overview the main topics in industrial organization, to develop key theoretical insights, to familiarize students with the analytical techniques, and to discuss new research developments. The course emphasizes IO theory, but links with empirical work and policy issues will also be discussed.

The topics of this course mainly cover the following topics: Basic Microeconomic Tools, Monopoly Power in Theory and Practice, Strategic Interaction & Basic Oligopoly Models, Anticompetitive Behavior / Antitrust Policy, Contractual Relations Between Firms, Non-Price Competition, Network Issues, and so forth. All these topics will be constrained to principle-level with conceptual explanation, relatively simple formulations.

To be emphasized, this course will apply multiple teaching methods to illustrate the related knowledge and theories. In details, the students will find themselves to have sufficient exposure to the basic theories through some on-class role playing, industrial case study and extensive example analysis, and anti-trust policy suggestions.

This course covers the core concepts in game theory. Game theory is, simply, a method of studying strategic situations, in which the welfare of one agent depends not only on her/his own action but also on other agents’ actions - more precisely on their “strategies’’. We will be using a set of concepts to understand such strategic situations and interactions between agents. The exposition emphasizes the economic applications of the theory at least as much as the pure theory itself. Game theory is heavily used in microeconomics, but its use and applications can also be observed in business, political science, law and international relations, which makes it necessary to study this course. This course will only cover non-cooperative game theory and no cooperative game theory will be involved.

The aim of this course is to provide students with an understanding of the principles and applications of international economics. This course consists of two parts: international trade and international finance. Part I: International Trade. In this part, we will investigate why nations trade, what they trade, and who gains from this trade. We will then analyze the motives for countries or organizations to restrict or regulate international trade and study the effects of such policies on economic welfare. Part II: international finance. In this part, we will cover the following topics: national income accounting and balance of payments, foreign exchange market; exchange rates and inflation; purchasing power parity; the determination of the exchange rate; international macroeconomics policy.

We live in a world intensifying globalization; China has become a major player in the world. This course introduces students a fundamental understanding of major of international Economics and Trade and prepares students the basic knowledge and skills necessary to successfully seek a satisfactory job.

Why you should study international Economics and Trade? 2. How the major is designed and the courses are organized? 3. How to build your career from the courses? 4. What kinds of capability you should have?

The study of world economics is mainly about the state of the world economy since the end of the Second World War, focusing on the current state of the world economy. World economics examines the economic conditions and mutual economic relations of the countries in the world, and then explores and grasps the characteristics of the changes in the world economy and the laws of the movement. The task of world economics is to understand and master the laws governing the development of the world economy, to correctly clarify various problems arising in the process of world economic development, to study the characteristics and trends of world economic development, and to analyze the impact of events and changes on China's economy and politics.

World Economy Outline discusses the status quo, operational mechanism and development trend of the post-war world economy in the form of an introduction. The purpose is to enable students to have a comprehensive, full and objective understanding of the international economic relations of the contemporary world and the various factors that govern the development of international economic relations, to grasp the economic relations of the world and the laws of the development of the world economy, to better serve the development of the Chinese economy.

Through the study of this course, students will master the laws governing the formation, development and change of the world economy, master the occurrence and development of international economic relations, especially the new situation of world economic development after the war, and at the same time, students should also have a deeper understanding of the imbalances in world economic development and regional economic integration, especially to make students realize that science and technology play a huge role in the development of the world economy. Through this course, students will understand the objective inevitability and operational rules of the world economic development, and understand many problems in the development of the world economy, such as the polarization between the rich and the poor, the widening gap between the North and the South, the unfairness of world trade, the financial crisis, Unbalanced development of the world economy, etc., are closely related to the unfair treatment of developed countries to developing countries, thus further deepening the understanding that peace and development are the themes of the contemporary world.

In this calculus-based intermediate microeconomics course, we will embrace a rigorous analytical approach to an under-the-hood study of quantity and price determination in individual markets, interactions across markets, and the economic efficiency and welfare associated with resulting allocations. As in any such course, our study will be anchored on individual choices that are derived as the solution to explicit optimization problems, with these rules aggregated to determine market demand and supply schedules. Primary topics will include consumer theory, producer theory, market equilibrium and general equilibrium. Additional topics will include inter-temporal choice, uncertainty, asset prices and game theory. Throughout the course, a repeated theme will be how preferences, technologies and market structure jointly determine economic outcomes, and how policy intervention or other disturbances reshape these outcomes.

In the early 21st century, nations are more closely linked through trade in goods and services, flows of money, and investment in each other’s economies than ever before. This course will introduce the main concepts, theories and policies of international trade and illustrates them with applications drawn from the real world. Meanwhile, it will demonstrate economics knowledge's applications in international trade. We will not only introduce the traditional trade theories such as the Ricardian model and the Heckscher-Ohlin model etc., but also some new trade theories and relevant trade policies. That is to say, we have attempted to convey the key ideas that have emerged in recent research while stressing the continuing usefulness of old ideas.

International Finance is no longer an arcane interest confined to a handful of economic specialists and traders. It is ubiquitous, to the point where it almost seems that whatever the subject under discussion–the outlook for the domestic or world economy, stock markets, industrial competitiveness at the level of the firm or the industry–the answer almost invariably turns out to revolve around the international finance. 

To some extent, the increased importance being attached to International Finance is a result of the internationalization of modern business, the continuing growth in world trade relative to national economies, the trend towards economic integration and the rapid pace of change in the technology of money transfer.

The course, as one of the major compulsory courses, requires the students to have solid economic theories foundation both in Macro-Micro-Economics, while it is necessary to know the wide range of management theories and computer skills for the project work.

International Finance will introduce students to exchange rate theory and global financial markets. Topics to be discussed will include foreign exchange markets, macroeconomics policy, international banking, currency derivative markets, euromarkets, risk management, and investment decisions in the global marketplace.

The object of this unit is to provide students with an understanding of the legal environment in which international trade and commerce are conducted by business entities in both civil and common law countries. The course will examine the private and public law aspects of international trade and commerce. The private law component will deal with transactions, such as sale of goods, forms of payments, and related issues such as shipping law, insurance law and private international law aspects with particular reference to dispute resolution. The public law component will consider the impact of international obligations, both multilateral and bilateral, on the conduct of trade and commerce. It will also consider the principles of international law relating to contracts and dispute settlement and arbitration.

International Trade Simulation (ITS), is a comprehensive, intensive, professional and practical course. The students will enter an animated export trade environment through an exquisitely constructed platform of IES and do international business on the platform. ITS strives to let participants understand, learn and explore all export practical skills and knowledge from the simulated business environment. The ability of analysis, organization, contingency, management and communication covered within will thus be practiced and improved.

Based on its philosophy —— Learning by Doing, ITS requires the participants to have the ability of understanding, learning and mastering the export business knowledge and skills through their own practice in simulated business environment.

The teacher, whose duty is more as the tutor than the lecturer, plays a “supporting role” in this learning-oriented course and assists students to improve and professionalize their tasks.

In ITS, all students will become “interns” in a simulated Chinese trading company and be required to work as professional business persons.

The course requires students to have solid economic theoretical foundation both in Macro-Micro-Economics, Principles of Finance and Accounting, while it is necessary to know the wide range of management theories and computer skills for the project work and course theses. All students are strongly encouraged to contribute to the class discussions, participate in the project presentation, so that every student will benefit from the pool of valuable personal resources.

This course provides a thorough introduction to microeconomics theory. Starting from the basic ideas of economics, we will study how the market forces of supply and demand cause prices to be what they are. Meanwhile, we will see the sense in which market economies are efficient, and the way governments can make our economy less or more efficient. Furthermore, we will delve behind the supply curve to see how firms choose their production levels to maximize profits, culminating in the model of perfect competition. And subsequently, compare firm strategies and efficiency under different market structures from monopoly, oligopoly, to perfect competition. We will also involve the theory of general equilibrium as well as related welfare analysis. Finally, we will look at market failures such as imperfect competition (monopoly and oligopoly) and externalities, and discuss some policy implications.

The target of this course is to equip the students with the elementary theory and knowledge in contemporary microeconomics. We primarily apply the double-way teaching approach with case analysis, to effectively motivate the students to actively interact during the process of teaching with the lecturer. In addition, we also use the simulation of real economic environment to stimulate the students’ intuition in analyzing the economic activities. By this approach, we try to cultivate the students’ capability to grasp the basic microeconomics theories, as well as to utilize them to interpret the economic phenomena, and even to provide some feasible solutions or public policies.
