Overview of class
This introductory course in economics emphasizes macroeconomics for business analytics. In the first third of the course, we will cover general "microeconomic" topics such as scarcity, choice, how the market system works, and the effects of government intervention. This will take us up to the first midterm. Then we'll turn to long-run macroeconomics and consider such things as economic growth and consumption. This should take us through to the second midterm. We'll then look at money and inflation and finish with short-run macroeconomics and stabilization policies. Time permitting, we will also consider contemporary issues such as the role of economic policy in addressing the COVID crisis.
The course is conducted completely online. A technology fee will be added to tuition.
