- Course objectives
- In this course, students will learn the basic principles of Microeconomics. They will get acquainted with the concepts of preference, cost, revenue, elasticity, supply, demand, firm, market, externality, etc., and their mutual relationship. The students will understand the operation of the market process and structure. They will be able to use microeconomic analytical tools to describe and analyze real-world cases and avoid usual analytical errors. They will understand the consequences of changes in demand, cost, market structure, and basic policy changes.
- Learning outcomes
- At the end of this course, students will be able to understand and explain when markets are a good solution to mundane problems and when the government can improve its results. They will also be prepared to study microeconomics at the intermediate level in the consequent course.
