    Description
    Common Course Numbering Language: An introductory course using microeconomic models to understand individual decisions by consumers and firms, market outcomes including market failure, elasticity, market structures, labor markets, inequality, and the impact of government policies. IVC Details: This course introduces the concepts and tools of microeconomic analysis. It investigates the problems that result from scarcity and how individuals and groups make decisions, given scarcity. The primary areas of focus are: markets and prices, marginal analysis, the decision-making processes of individuals and firms, industrial organization and resource markets. These principles can be used to analyze such things as government economic policies, environmental issues, the distribution of income, anti-trust policy, and international trade. Credit may be earned in either ECON C2001 or C2001H, but not both. C-ID: ECON 201. Formerly ECON 1.
