Overview of class

This course is concerned with the analysis of consumer and producer behavior in market economies. It is the foundation for all the 300-level courses offered by the Economics Department. It introduces students to key concepts and analytical techniques in modern microeconomic theory. The first part of the course examines the demand side of the market: consumers preferences, individual and market demand. The second part examines the supply side: cost functions, output decisions, and technology adoption. The last part examines welfare and government intervention in perfectly competitive and monopolistic markets.
