Qualification Objectives
Using economic-analytical tools such as static and dynamic optimization, Pareto efficiency as a measure of optimum, and economic concepts like opportunity costs, public goods, and externalities, students can explain the characteristics of the media. Based on these characteristics, students can deepen their understanding, explanation, and derivation of the following issues, initially as a positive analysis:
i) optimal consumption behavior for the media, with a neuroeconomic approach;
ii) the optimal production plan of media companies, supplemented by the influences and structural changes brought about by digital transformation;
iii) the distribution of media goods and the associated implications through both physical and digital channels;
iv) the comparison of different media market forms and the resulting market outcomes, considering the uniqueness of media convergence resulting from competition;
v) the media's impact on an individual and societal level with a neuroeconomic and economic psychological approach.
Drawing insights from these findings, students can independently make normative statements.
