In this course, you will develop a basic understanding of microeconomic theory and the way it is applied to policy issues. The goal of the course is to help students understand the basics of how economists think about behavior, outcomes and markets, and how they approach policy analysis. These include policy problems for each set of economic tools, links to additional study resources, related news articles, and self-scoring tests and quizzes. Go to the Dryden site, click the economics link, and then the Mankiw book icon. The material discussed in class will be covered on the exams.
Problem sets are to be competed, to be turned in on time, and to be student's own work.
Academic honesty is required.
