課程概述 |
This course is the first of a series of a year-long course in economic reasoning designed for undergraduate students. The goal of this course is to introduce student to the application of the principles of microeconomic analysis to policy questions. Upon completion of the course, you should be able to understand basic economic analysis of public policy and be able to apply the principles of economics to these policies.
Of course, to apply economic principles to public policy, we first need to master the tools that economists use. Microeconomics studies the allocation of scarce resources among individual agents. Examples of such agents include consumers, firms, or workers. The allocation of resources is determined by interactions in markets. The course will focus on how markets work. In particular, we will see how agents, such as buyers and sellers, are able to interact in such a way that mutually beneficial exchanges are possible. As we analyze various market scenarios, we will ask what role government intervention into the market may play, and whether such intervention is necessary.

課程目標 |
We begin by introducing the basic model of market interaction – supply and demand curves in perfect competition. Most of the first half of the course will be spent developing the models of consumer and producer behavior underlying these curves. Then, we examine situations in which the perfectly competitive model breaks down, such as in the face of monopolies or pollution. We will be interested both in the effects brought on by such complications and possible remedies for them. Finally, the course concludes with an introduction of game theory. |
課程要求 |
Student’s grade in this course will be based on problem sets (20%), completion of two policy memos (20%), a mid-term (30%), and a final exam (30%).
Both quizzes will be held in class, on the dates listed in the syllabus. The final exam will be scheduled in the final-exam week. All quizzes and exams will be closed book exams – no notes or books may be used during the quizzes and exams. If student must miss one of the quizzes or the final exam due to illness, family emergency, or religious holiday, a makeup exam may be arranged. However, you must first present me with a letter from your doctor or parent as appropriate. Except in the case of illness or unexpected family emergency, arrangements for the makeup exam must be made before the originally scheduled exam date.

參考書目 |
The textbook required for this course is Economics, 5th edition, by John B.
Taylor (published by Houghton Mifflin Company in 2007). For those who need a
Chinese textbook for fun, Naked Economics by Charles Wheelan(聰明學經濟的12堂
課,胡瑋珊譯,先覺出版社,2003)is recommended. Lectures will roughly follow
the material in the Taylor textbook, although occasionally material not in the
textbooks will be covered. You will be responsible for all material covered
in lecture, whether or not it is also in the text. The text is intended to be
a supplement to the lectures. It provides background information, examples,
and does an excellent job of describing the intuition of economic theory. At
times the text is more advanced than needed for our course. You should use
the lectures, rather than the text, as a guide to the level of understanding
you are expected to master.
For additional help, copies of the study guide that accompanies the text are
also available for xerox. Students who have never taken an economics course
before, or those who feel they need a refresher, may find the study guide
useful. The study guide is also a source of additional practice problems.
