Econ 100A Intermediate Economics I
Code: 62200
Brueckner, J.
Tues/Thurs 12:30 pm
SSLH 100
The purpose of an intermediate economics course is to introduce students to the way economists do their job. The job of a professional economist involves constructing models (formal simplifications of reality), and applying them to real-world situations (business decisions or public policy issues). This course will teach you about the basic tools in an economist�s toolbox. We will study demand and production theory in detail, and apply it to analysis of the two simplest models of market structure: perfect competition and monopoly. There is a fair amount of mathematics in this course, but keep in mind that 100A itself is NOT a mathematics course. We use mathematics as one of economist�s tools.
Prerequisite: 20A-B and Mathematics 2A-B or equivalent.
