課程設計分為兩部分：前半學期討論以交易成本為基礎的組織理論，後半學期則以契約設計為主。我希望能用簡單的數學推論和口語化的方式介紹經濟組織理論，並輔以課堂活動和議題討論，幫助學生理解組織和制度對個人乃至社會、經濟的影響力和重要性。學生將學到如何將課堂學到的理論和案例形成並分析有興趣的經濟組織相關問題。The course design is divided into two parts: the first half of the semester discusses organizational theory based on transaction costs, and the second half of the semester focuses on contract design. I hope to use simple mathematical reasoning and colloquial language to introduce the theory of economic organization, supplemented by classroom activities and topic discussions, to help students understand the influence and importance of organizations and systems on individuals, society and the economy. Students will learn how to formulate and analyze the theories and cases learned in class into economic organization-related issues of interest.
