Technology Policy and Economics

This course explores how microeconomic principles inform technology policy design, regulation, and strategic investment. Students analyze market dynamics, incentives, and externalities that shape technological innovation and adoption across industries. The course examines the economic drivers behind public and private decisions on emerging technologies, including pricing, competition, and equity considerations. By the end, students apply economic reasoning to evaluate the societal and policy implications of technological change and to support evidence-based approaches to technology governance and investment strategy.
