Description

ECON 101 examines the microeconomics of capitalism — the behavior of households and businesses, the generation of prices and outputs in markets, and applications to public policy. Specific topics in ECON 101 include:

  • supply and demand;
  • the differences between competition and monopoly;
  • environmental problems and policies;
  • labor markets; and
  • international trade.

ECON 101 is the first part of the two-term introduction to economics — the second part (ECON 102, for which ECON 101 is a prerequisite) examines macroeconomics.

Textbook: "Microeconomics" by Paul Krugman & Robin Wells, Third Edition. The book is recommended, not required.

Course Requirements:

Students will be evaluated based on in-class exams, quizzes, and graded problem sets.

Intended Audience:

Class Format:

The course format consists of 2 lectures and 1 discussion section per week.
