This course introduces the fundamentals of microeconomics and macroeconomics to business/other students who desire a primer on the working of an economy in a mutually dependent world. It includes the microeconomic interaction of businesses and consumers in markets and the determination of prices and quantities under conditions of competition and monopoly. Economic interdependencies in the global economy are analyzed to obtain the effects of economic changes on the country itself and on the world. The macroeconomics of aggregate consumption, saving, investment, and national income are also examined, as well as the role played by money, banking, and business cycles in the domestic and world economy. This course is only for CSOM undergraduate students.

This course presents a formal analysis of consumer theory, producer theory, market structures, market equilibrium, efficiency (welfare economics), and market failures. More specifically, the topics that will be discussed are the behavior of households, firms, and industries under competitive conditions with a focus on factors influencing production, price, and other outcomes. Basically, the concepts that were introduced in ECON 1101 (or equivalent courses) will be studied in detail with a more formal treatment of the models. We will also examine the applications of the theory, especially to current economic policy problems.

In this course, we focus on the optimal choice behavior of producers and social planners under various constraints and the aggregate (efficiency and equity) effects of these decisions. More specifically, the topics that will be discussed are the behavior of firms and markets under competitive, monopolistic, and oligopolistic conditions, externalities, and economic efficiency, with some game theory. It also examines the applications of the theory, especially to current economic policy problems.

This course builds on fundamental concepts and techniques learned in ECON 3101 (ECON 3011 and ECON 3012) and ECON 1102. The purpose of this course is to introduce you to modern macroeconomics by building macroeconomic models from microeconomic principles, which is consistent with the way that macroeconomic research is conducted nowadays. We will also be learning about the measurement of macroeconomic aggregates. More specifically, the topics that will be discussed are the determinants and measurement of national income, employment, and price level, as well as economic growth. Emphasis will be given to a general equilibrium approach. It also examines the applications of the theory, especially current modern macroeconomic policy issues. An introductory economics course is meant to teach the language of economics, while an intermediate course is intended to teach some of the tools of economics. To that end, our goals for this course will be to: - Learn about the measurement of macroeconomic data. - Develop an understanding of the foundations of modern macroeconomic models. - Subject these various models to data and determine their empirical relevance. - Use these models to gain a deeper understanding of economic growth and business cycles.

The purpose of this course (together with ECON 3023) is to introduce you to modern macroeconomics by building macroeconomic models from microeconomic principles, which is consistent with the way that macroeconomic research is conducted nowadays. More specifically, the topics that will be discussed are savings and investment, monetary theory, monetary and fiscal policies, search and unemployment, banking and macroeconomics, and open economy macroeconomics. Emphasis will be given to a general equilibrium approach. It also examines the applications of the theory, especially current modern macroeconomic policy issues. An introductory economics course is meant to teach the language of economics, while an intermediate course is intended to teach some of the tools of economics.
