Expanded Course Description
Life is about choice. You made a choice to read this, even though you only have so much time in a day. This class examines how agents - consumers, firms, and governments - make decisions when facing scarce resources (such as time and money), and how those decisions affect market outcomes, such as prices, output and how a society uses its resources. Using demand and supply analysis, students will learn how markets coordinate the activities of agents, and how markets and agents respond to changes in underlying factors. The latter part of the course explores situations where markets can fail, including imperfect competition among firms (for example, monopoly), activities that generate costs or benefits that are external to the immediate market transaction (for example, pollution), and examples of desired goods which no private firm would want to provide (for example, national defense). Students should come away from the class with the ability to understand the economic phenomena we read and hear about everyday, as well as a better ability to judge the economic merits of various proposals by policymakers.
