Business Economics II builds on and extends the set of microeconomic concepts covered in Business Economics I and introduces key macroeconomic concepts that underpin business decisions. Topics covered may include: Market Failure, Welfare Economics, Auctions, Optimal Tax and Financial Economics.

When faced with a business decision, students should be able to identify the relevant economic factors and be able to identify what economic analysis would be necessary to support that decision. Students should be able to translate an economic story into appropriate equations or numerical examples and apply the tools of economic analysis to provide practical insight into business problems.

Increasing access to large amounts of complex heterogeneous data during planning, delivery and post-operative management, paves the way for developing analytics tools and solutions to support   decision-making   and   quality   improvement in interventional medicine. This module will cover a) the key principles and techniques of data collection, fusion, analysis and visualisation of diverse data types and b) the theoretical basis of statistical inference, data mining and pattern analysis building a comprehensive view on the modelling and decision-making processes in surgical data science. The module will encompass a series of lectures and hands-on programming sessions, in which students will apply data science methods on surgical/interventional tasks, including decision support, workflow analysis and skill assessment, and be exposed on the limitations and challenges of developing analytics tools. The acquired skills are transferable to other areas of biomedical engineering (e.g. human-computer interaction, machine learning, robotics) as well as to domains beyond medicine. The module is suitable for students with a STEM background and basic knowledge of scripting programming.
