The objective of this course is to take students who have had only an intuitive and descriptive introduction to basic economic concepts and acquaint them with the use of formal economic models at an elementary level. The students will be introduced to simplified models for microeconomics and macroeconomics. Under the heading of, "microeconomics", theories of consumer and firm behaviour are introduced along with an explanation of the various types of market structures. For "macroeconomics", the course presents theories of long-run economic growth and short-run economic fluctuations.
The course bridges the gap between the conceptual introduction in ECON1000 and the more rigorous and structured theories of the intermediate courses offered at Level II. This course serves two purposes:
Outline: Theory of Consumer Behaviour and Theory of Firm Behaviour, Market Structures, Elements of Macroeconomics, and the Components of the Macro-economy.
