COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
Microeconomics 1 (microeconomics principles) is an introductory undergraduate
course that teaches the fundamentals of microeconomics. At NEU, this is the first
course that students study in economics. For learners, this is a module that provides a
solid foundation for economic thinking and analysis that can last throughout their
academic and professional careers. For other students, it can provide the foundation for
many years of study in economics, business or related fields.
This module begins with an introduction to supply and demand and the
fundamental forces that determine equilibrium in a market economy. Next, it
introduces a framework for learning about consumer behavior and analyzing consumer
decisions. The module then addresses firms and their decisions about optimal
production, and the impact of different market structures on firms' behavior. The final
part of the module introduces some of the more advanced topics that can be analyzed
using microeconomic theory. These include international trade and the role of
Government in a market economy.
By the end of the module, students will be able to understand introductory
microeconomic theory, tackle fundamental microeconomic problems, and use these
techniques to think about the policy questions related to the performance of the real economy. 4. LEARNING RESOURCES Textbook
