ECON 1501 21 Introduction to Microeconomics
Introductory microeconomics examines the behaviors of individuals and firms as they make decisions. Beginning with the foundations — the principles of economics, supply, demand, and the determination of prices and market equilibria — we'll progress to study how consumers make choices, how firms operate and compete ("the theory of production"), and how different market structures function. Other topics, such as externalities, taxes, international trade policies, welfare analysis, inequality, and other social issues, will be covered as time allows. For a thorough introduction to economics, introductory macroeconomics (Econ 1502) also should be taken.
