Course Overview

This class will focus on decision making in markets. Microeconomic theory will be used to explain how individuals decide what and how much to buy and how firms decide what and how much to sell under various economic environments. The models of behavior that we will investigate are consumer theory and production theory. These theories form the basic building blocks in understanding market structures such as perfect competition, monopoly, monopolistic competition and oligopoly. To understand these topics, we will use basic algebra and graphs.
