    Description
    This course was formerly known as ECON 304 Principles of Microeconomics. This course is a graphical and functional analysis of the units (sectors) making up the economy. The focus is on the sectors' choices and interactions, microeconomic goals (efficiency and equity), problems, and solutions. Major topics include basic principles of economics; basic economic analyses; demand, supply, and equilibrium in a market; markets and applications; costs and production; product and resources markets; and microeconomic problems (externalities, public goods, and income inequality). Time permitting, related topics such as international trade and health economics may also be discussed.
