Learning outcomes
|
The aim of this course is to give students the conceptual basis and the necessary tools for understanding modern microeconomics at the intermediate level. This course develops the neoclassical theory of optimising behaviour of consumers and firms. The discussion of consumer theory is followed by a careful examination of price and output determination under alternative market structures. The implications of alternative goals of firms are also examined. After the theory of supply and demand in the output market, the focus turns to an examination of resource markets.
The graduate obtains knowledge of the functioning of a market economy.
