Notes

Open to Degree and PACE students

Section Description

*This semester, the course will be taught jointly by Prof. Beam and Prof. Solnick*

ECON14500 will provide you with a survey of microeconomics - individuals making decisions under constraints. We will cover the core supply and demand model, explore the demand and supply sides of the market in depth by studying consumer choice and the behavior of the firm under different market structures, and finally examine the role of government policy. The focus of the class is on using basic principles to solve problems and to understand real-world phenomena. There are four main goals:

1. To define and apply foundational economic terms.

2. To solve basic problems relating to supply and demand, consumer theory, and profit maximization (under perfect competition, monopolistic competition, and monopolies)

3. To analyze market dynamics using equations and/or by drawing and manipulating appropriate diagrams.

4. To use economic terms and principles to explain real-world market dynamics

A fifth, bonus, goal is for you to come away with an appreciation of how interesting and useful economics can be!

We will use Achieve for Krugman and Wells Microeconomics, 7th edition (includes e-book) ISBN-13: 9781319481186.
