ECON 160Principles of Microecon (LEC)

Catalog

This course is about the economic behavior of individuals and firms. We will study markets under a variety of conditions and assess the implications for human well-being. We will develop tools to analyze policy and determine when government interventions in the market are justified. However, microeconomics is about more than just money; it also provides a framework for understanding human nature. By the end of the semester, you should have a deeper understanding of markets, policy, and human behavior. Note: Discussion sections will NOT meet during the first week of classes. Format: Grading depends on participation in classes and discussion sections, assignments, two midterm exams, and a final exam.
