Text: Microeconomics 11th edition by E. Mansfield and G. Yohe
The purpose of this course is to advance your technical understanding of economic theory concerning individual behavior, the behavior of firms, about how firms and consumers interact in the marketplace, and the role of markets in the economy. The only prerequisite for this course is “quantitative literacy.” This means either intro (Econ 2304), or that you can easily understand graphs, and simple algebra. The material in this course is, in turn, a prerequisite to many advanced topic courses (4000 level) in economics. You will be expected to demonstrate your expertise in the material through a combination of clear and precise writing, and analytical problems. Your excellent writing is why this course is a social science writing intensive class in the core curriculum. Late work will be marked off. A midterm make-up is only available if arrangements are made in advance. Class attendance is mandatory.
Course Requirements:
1 midterm, 1 final, 3 problem sets
35%; 50%; 15%
