Welcome to Intermediate Microeconomics

Jim Lacey

I’m Dr. James Lacey and am pleased to be your instructor for this term.

About the course title, in Microeconomics 202, you learned the basic vocabulary and models used in microeconomics, and this course (ECN302) covers roughly the same ground at a higher level, adding more tools for analysis, and opening up the use of journal literature in exploring the field. So it is "Intermediate," beyond a basic course.

As for the schedule, after a quick review, we will look at demand, supply, market structure, and strategy, and you will demonstrate your learning in three short papers and a final project. We will also have online discussions.

The textbooks we use are from Openstax and totally free to read online.

To get started, please review the syllabus and let me know if you have any questions. It will probably by tweaked a bit when we begin Mar 18.

Also look at the discussions in module 1, and post by the end of our first week.

Dr. L.
