Learning Objectives

The goal of this course is to provide the student with an introduction to microeconomic principles. The focus will be on decision making by consumers and firms and the coordination of these decisions by the market. Economics is not a sequence of facts and definitions; rather, it is a method of analysis, and by the end of the course, the student will be able to apply the newly learned analytical tools to a variety of economic and public policy issues.

Class Materials (Required)

Principles of Microeconomics by Frank and Bernanke, 8th ed. 2022. ISBN13: 9781264250387
