Principles of Microeconomics: Course Description
Microeconomics, along with macroeconomics, is one of two major fields of economics study. 'Principles of Microeconomics ' outlined how consumers and companies make economic decisions and how micro-level decisions affect the aggregate economic picture. For example, students in this class used mathematical models to explore the way prices are set and consumption decisions are made. They also learned how different types of markets (monopolistic vs. competitive, product vs. factor, etc.) function. Students in this undergraduate Economics course also studied formulas and models for conducting basic economic predictions. 'Principles of Microeconomics ' was a lecture course initially taught by Chia-Hui Chen and Professor William Wheaton and assisted by graduate students Rongzhu Ke, Monica Martinez-Bravo, Marco Migueis, Peter Schnabl and Hongliang Zhang through the Department of Economics at MIT.
