ECO 204: Intermediate Microeconomic Theory

Goal: To explore in greater detail the incentives which determine individual and firm behavior. We will do this by practicing the application of the microeconomic way of thinking. Introductory courses rely primarily on intuition and logic as the basis for theory; Intermediate courses develop theory from a more mathematical perspective.
Content: This course is a continuation of the study of the nature of decision making in markets. Primary emphasis is placed upon the development of models which explain the behavior of consumers and producers, the importance of market structures, and the appropriate role of the government.
