| 授業概要 Course Description |
Some of us face questions like “Why are rents higher in some cities? What price should I charge for the English lessons that I give? How many years should I spend in school? Should I take up a part-time job?”
This course will help answer such questions through basic economic concepts. Introduction to Economics A will focus on concepts in Microeconomics. The course will be mostly lecture-based with some problem solving assignments and class discussions. All reading material and information about the class will be updated on manaba. You must submit your assignments and HW on manaba.

| 到達目標 Class Goals |
Introduction to Economics A will explain the principles of economics that apply to the functions of individual decision makers, both consumers and producers within the economic system. Important topics include demand and supply, trade theory, elasticity, externalities and firm behavior.
