ECON 2010-170R & 171R

Introduction to Macroeconomics

This course looks into our choices and what drives our behavior in today’s economy. Since we live in a market economy, we emphasize economic interactions among individuals, business firms, and government, developing a formal model of supply and demand to discuss how and why we make economic decisions, and how our choices affect the economy. The course describes different kinds of markets in our economy and identifies conditions which may cause markets to fail or achieve an efficient solution.
