This course introduces students to the main concepts, theories and applications of microeconomics.  It is intended to give students a sound grounding in the techniques of microeconomic analysis.  It begins with the neoclassical model of consumer and firm optimization.  It then extends on market coordination of individual decisions and discussions as to whether market outcomes are desirable.  Though the course focuses on the theoretical framework of microeconomic analysis, applications are used to show how the tools can be used in a variety of contexts, to enrich students’ economic thinking.
