The most exciting part about Microeconomics is the application, not just what you read in a textbook.
Choose any podcast related to this module’s microeconomics topic, then choose a specific current episode of that
podcast. Your reference will be the name of, and link to, your chosen podcast. As you listen to your chosen
podcast, pay particular attention to any discussion relating to Imperfect Competition, Regulation, and Antitrust.
After listening to the podcast, answer the following questions:
What important new knowledge did you learn?
How did this new knowledge relate to microeconomic theories explored in this module, such as imperfect
competition, regulation, and antitrust?
What experiences do you have with the topic(s) covered in the podcast?
Examples of acceptable economic oriented podcasts include:
EconTalk;
Freakonomics;
CATO Daily Podcast;
The Sound of Economics;
NPR’s Marketplace series (some daily and some weekly);
NPR’s Planet Money;
Weekly Economics Podcast; and
Bloomberg’s Stephanomics to name just a few.
If you are unfamiliar with podcasts, search for economic podcasts, using any of the above options, or just search
for economics podcasts. It is also acceptable to use TED talks that center on economic issues.
