ECONOMICS OF RELIGION
Code: EOR 09/10
ECTS credits: 2
Lecture hours: 15 hours of workshop
Study period: Winter or Spring
Level: Basic
Location: Wrocław
Examination: Attendance and Essay
Language: English
Prerequisites: Microeconomics
Course content: This course explains principles of the social-scientific study of religion,
with special emphasis on the economic and New Institutional Economics
approaches. Whereas psychologists and sociologists usually interpret
religious belief and behaviour in terms of ignorance, irrationality and
indoctrination, economists claim that rational self-interest shapes the
choices of religious ―consumers‖ and ―producers‖. The course presents
economic theories of the interrelation of religion and economic behaviour
as well as of the role of religion in contemporary society.
Main topics: Social-scientific and economic approaches to the study of
religion, Economic theories of individual religious belief and non-belief,
Economics of religious institutions, The influence of religion on markets
and economic behaviour, The influence of religion on economic and
social outcomes.

INDUSTRIAL ORGANISATION
Code: INOR 09/10
ECTS credits: 4
Lecture hours: Lecture and case study: 30 hours
Study period: Winter or spring semester
Level: Intermediate
Location: Wroclaw
Examination: Case study, essay and attendance
Language: English
Prerequisites: Microeconomics and Macroeconomics
Course content: In economics, studies in the field of the industrial organisation consist of
the analysis of imperfect competitive markets, i.e., markets where a
company is able to apply market power and establish a price above
marginal cost. Industrial organisation uses microeconomics' models (both
static and dynamic) as well as the game theory to describe various aspects
of firms, industries and markets. The ultimate goal of the course is to
discuss the influence of government on markets, exerted to create more
competitive structures. Throughout the course we will discuss case studies
mainly from our European markets rather then American ones.
The course will start with the overview of the theory of firms and costs
and the description of different market structures. This will be applied to
the analysis of monopolies and monopoly practices. The course will also
discuss concentration in individual markets, entry and exit issues and
mergers.
The next part of the course will begin from the short overview of game
theory and its application to the analysis of oligopolistic behaviour –
together with basic microeconomics tools we will study cartels and the
entry in both pricing and non-pricing strategies.
The last part of the course will give an overview of business practices –
product differentiation and advertising strategies, research and
development, price discrimination and vertical relationships and
integration. The course will end with the discussion about regulation and
deregulation.

ECTS credits: 4
Lecture hours: 30 hours
Study period: Spring
Level: Master studies
Location: Wroclaw
Examination: Written work and its presentation during the lecture
Language: English
Prerequisites: Microeconomics, macroeconomics
Course content: The aim of this lecture is to show the significance of technical and social
infrastructure mainly by presenting its place in local and regional
development, and in the latest theories concerning economic growth. The
infrastructure should be fitted to other developmental factors (also non-
material) so that it amplifies the development. Only an active approach to
infrastructure gives an opportunity to use the whole development
potential, therefore it is one of the most important tasks of the local and
regional authorities. The specific character of infrastructure requires
special tools to carry out and to finance infrastructural investments. All of
these aspects will be discussed during the classes.
The student will acquire the knowledge which will contribute to the better
understanding of the problems concerning the meaning of infrastructure
in spatial development process.

Title:
COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS OF INVESTMENT
PROJECTS
Code: CBAI 09/10
ECTS credits: 3
Lecture hours: 10h lecture +10h workshop
Study period: Winter or Spring
Level: Advanced
Location: Wroclaw
Examination: Written test
Language: English
Prerequisites: Basic accounting, basic investment decisions
Course content: Cost-benefit analysis (CBA) is one of the economic analyses methods, which purpose is to help evaluate a project or proposal. In this sense it could be perceived as an investment decision tool. It shows if the project will increase the common wealth and it helps to identify value for money solutions that meet the objectives of government policies. In broad socio-economic sense the analysis will tackle not only financial aspects of an investment but also other aspects that are not explicit in market prices.
CBA of investment projects is explicitly required by the new EU regulations for different funds for major projects. CBA is also useful in many different situations connected with collecting funds to run investment projects.
The lecture combines theory and practical applications. An understanding
of financial methods for project appraisal is essential if one is to develop
and implement the methods of project economic (social) effectiveness
appraisal. Therefore, lectures begin with basic concepts, including
background on the economic and financial environment, financial and
economic analysis, risk analysis, and the valuation process. With this
background one can understand how specific techniques and decision
rules can be used for appraisal of projects from investor and social point
of view. Lectures will cover following subjects:
1 What is Cost-Benefit Analysis – differences between financial and
economic analysis (theory of distortions).
2 An agenda for the project examiner
Provides operational tools for both the preparation and the appraisal of
the project.
3 Financial analysis
This section explains how to conduct the study, from the definition of the
main items to include in the analysis to the calculation of the financial
IRR and NPV (both of the investment and of the equity).
4 Economic analysis
Starting from the financial analysis and the table of financial flows, the
aim is to assess a standard methodology for the four steps for the
definition of the table for the economic analysis: correction for fiscal
aspects; correction for externalities; the determination of the conversion
factors; the determination of social discount rate.
The section focuses on how to calculate the social costs and benefits of a
project and how they can influence the final result. It provides guidance
on how to calculate economic IRR and economic (social) NPV and to
understand its economic meaning for project appraisal.
5 Multicriteria analysis
This section will cover situations in which the IRR and NPV criteria are
insufficient as impact indicators and complementary analysis is needed.
6. Sensitivity and risk analysis
The section gives an outline on the treatment of uncertainty in investment
projects.

Reporting Standards (IFRS) into legal systems of all EU countries causes
the serious growth of accountants‘ professional responsibility and results in
identification of numerous ethical dilemmas which were unknown before in
continental Europe.

READING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS –
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS AND CREATIVE
ACCOUNTING
Code: RFSFA 09/10
ECTS credits: 4
Lecture hours: 30 hours
Study period: Spring semester
Level: Basic
Location: Wrocław
Examination: Written work at home and in class assignments
Language: English
Prerequisites: Listeners must have knowledge of subjects: basis of accounting, financial
accounting, microeconomics and basis of law.
Course content: The lecture covers two strictly connected issues regarding reading and
understanding financial statements: financial analysis and creative
accounting. It is essential for all students of finance and accounting. The
basic source of information to assess companies, their financial
condition, efficiency and financial risks are financial statements. And the
method of decoding that information is financial analysis. On the other
hand, every company is trying to manipulate its financial statement. This
practice is so common that it earned many names: creative accounting,
aggressive accounting or window dressing. The lecture introduces the
listeners to the most common practices of creative accounting, though it
focuses only on the legal actions. The knowledge of possibilities, legal
and ethical conditions and economic results of creative accounting is
essential for all students who plan their careers on positions in financial
departments of all kind of companies, and particularly for future:
financial managers, financial analytics, chief accountants, bank
analytics. Students will achieve the knowledge and ability to analyze in
practice financial statements of real companies. The lecture comprises
methodological workshops on public companies assessment on the basis
on all publicly accessible information.
Key words:
financial statement, financial analysis, comparative analysis,
fundamental analysis, creative accounting, tools of creative accounting,
goals of creative accounting, positive accounting theory
