This course is an introduction to the topics of microeconomics, which include market supply and demand, theories of the firm and individual behavior, competition and monopoly, externalities, public goods, and income distribution. Students will learn ways to analyze the basic economic activities of consumption and production, and how to evaluate the allocation of resources and products achieved through markets. The role of government policy in addressing markets failures will be emphasized throughout the course, with special focus on contemporary economic problems.

This course examines the principles of economics in the context of the operation of the United States economy. Both microeconomic theory (behavior of firms and households) and macroeconomic theory (total output, inflation, employment and unemployment, economic growth) will be introduced as will economic approaches to social problems. (social science) (COPR)

This introductory course develops the basic tools and methods of microeconomic analysis. The choices of individual decision makers are analyzed in studying how markets operate. The fundamentals of supply and demand, consumer and firm behavior, and market interactions are examined. Applications to current microeconomic issues are discussed in the course, for example, the role of government in markets.

For students enrolled in the School of Engineering. An integrated intensive treatment of micro- and macroeconomics. Modern analytical approach employed to treat topics including theory of consumer demand, theory of firm, market structure, inflation, unemployment, and economic growth. Special emphasis on managerial economics and empirical methods by which economists test hypotheses and estimate parameters.

In this course we learn how individuals and other decisionmakers, such as consumers, resource owners, business firms, and public institutions, maximize gains and/or minimize losses. The determination of prices, output through supply, and demand in different market organizations will be examined.

ECO 20000 covers the fundamental principles and analytical tools of microeconomics. The course develops models of consumer and firm behavior and uses them to study foundational topics such as taxation, labor and trade. The course builds tools for welfare analysis in perfectly competitive and imperfectly competitive markets.

This course builds on basic economic principles to examine how individuals, households, groups, and businesses make decisions to allocate scarce resources. Topics often addressed are: consumer/producer decisions; competition; monopolies and the concentration of capital; income distribution; labor markets; discrimination; social and criminal theft; profit distribution; the environment; and public goods. These topics are studied from a variety of theoretical perspectives including study of their associated policy prescriptions.

An analysis of the determination of price under alternative market structures. Particular emphasis will be placed on understanding the economic behavior of the household, the business firm, and government.Successful completion of this course satisfies one Civic Engagement interaction.

This course will study price determination and distribution under alternative market structures as well as government intervention in the market. A comparison of the market economy to alternative systems will also be examined.CUNY Pathways: Flexible Core-Individual & Society

Determination of demand, supply, and equilibrium prices and quantities. Firm costs in the short and long run. Study of competitive markets, monopolies, and oligopolies and public policy implications of these different markets.Note: Students may not recieve credit for both ECO 167 and BBA 169.

Elementary analysis of markets, markets structures, consumer demand, and market price determination. Other topics include production and cost analysis, output and price determination by firms, market failures, of the government intervention and regulations, and their impact on the functioning of markets. Applications to poverty, international trade, and income distribution will be covered.

This course teaches the fundamental parts of an economy and the factors that affect individual economic choices. Topics include consumer theory, producer theory, behavior of firms, market equilibrium, competition, international trade and the role of governments in the economy. Students will be introduced to methods economists use in economic analysis and research. Throughout the course, students will be encouraged to relate issues in economics to their own lives and the operations of businesses of different sizes and market structures.

The price system and capitalism. Demand, supply and elasticity, the costs of production and how these costs are determined under perfect competition, monopoly, monopolistic competition and oligopoly, factors of production under perfect competition and the various forms of monopoly.SATISFIES FLEXIBLE CORE- INDIVIDUAL & SOCIETY

This course presents the fundamentals of Economics with a focus on the behaviors of consumers and producers, and government regulations that affect the dynamic interaction between buyers and sellers in an economy. Major topics include consumer choice theory, production, and profit maximization of firms operating under various market structures, such as Perfect Competition, Monopolistic Competition, Oligopoly and Monopoly. The course also covers the labor market and wage determination under varying market conditions.

How decisions are made by the consumer and producer sectors of the economy and the interactions between the two sectors; the process of resource allocation and income distribution within a free enterprise economy as well as alternative market structures such as monopoly, oligopoly, and monopolistic competition; and the effects of various government policies on the allocation of resources and the distribution of income. May not be taken for credit if ECON 104 has already been taken.

An investigation of the microeconomy as seen through the eyes of the individual consumer and firm. Economic concepts, including profits, employment and resources via supply and demand, elasticity, utility, costs, and market structures are applied to significant contemporary economics problems.

Introduction to the principles of economic analysis, policies, and institutions with emphasis on allocation of resources, trade and the distribution of income through the price system. This course may be offered as an online course.
