    Ⅰ. Course Overview
    1. Course Description

    This course begins with an introduction to supply and demand and the basic forces that
    determine an equilibrium in a market economy. Then it introduces a framework for
    learning about consumer behavior and analyzing consumer decisions. We then turn our
    attention to firms and their decisions about optimal production, and the impact of different
    market structures on firms' behavior. We also study basic game-theoretic concepts and
    tools, and apply them to some of more advanced topics in microeconomics.

    2. Prerequisites

    Knowledge of “Principles of Economics” and “Mathematics for Economics” is preferred.

    ü Special notes for international students: This course is suitable for those who are
    familiar with single variable calculus, which is regarded as “college freshman-level
    calculus” in some countries. (FYI, single variable calculus is included in high school
    mathematics curriculum in Korea.)

    4. Course Objectives

    After completing this course, students should have developed a range of skills enabling
    them to understand economic concepts and use those concepts to analyze various economic
    questions.

    More specifically, by the end of this semester, students should be able to:
    Ÿ Understand consumer and firm behavior
    Ÿ Analyze different types of market structures (competitive, monopoly & oligopoly markets)
    Ÿ Apply economic principles to a range of policy questions

    5. Evaluation System

    ☐ Relative evaluation ☐ Absolute evaluation ■ Others : See below

    - Explanation of evaluation system:

    “45-45 rule” is adopted, and the exact distribution of the grades may be adjusted based on
    the overall performance of the class.

    Ⅱ. Course Materials and Additional Readings


    1. Required Materials

    Ÿ Microeconomics by Jeffrey M. Perloff

    2. Supplementary Materials

    Ÿ Microeconomics: Theory and Applications with Calculus by Jeffrey M. Perloff

    3. Optional Additional Readings

    Ⅲ. Course Policies

    Ÿ Homework
    : Problem sets will be given regularly, but will not be collected for grading. The selected problems
    will be reviewed in class. Note that the students have the responsibilities to do assigned problems
    on their own.

    Ÿ Quizzes
    : There will be two in-class quizzes on 03/28(Thur) and 05/23(Thur). Each quiz will be taken at the
    beginning of the class for about 15 minutes.

    Ÿ Exams
    : There will be a midterm exam and a final exam on 04/22(Mon) and 06/13(Thur), respectively.
    Each exam will cover the material in the previous half of class. Later material is built on earlier
    concepts, so in that sense the exam is cumulative. Note that no make-up quizzes or exams will be
    given in any case!

    Ÿ Class Attendance
    : Students can miss up to three classes with no attendance penalty, meaning full 5% point
    allocation will be awarded. Students should use this flexibility for sickness, job interviews, and all
    other valid excuses. However, missing more than three classes will result in zero point. Also note
    that students are considered to be absent if they are either more than five minutes tardy for a
    class or not present when called names during the class.

    Ÿ Lecture Notes
    : Lecture notes will be available on Cyber Campus before class. There are some blanks in the
    lecture notes, and those blanks will be “filled-in“ during the class. You can write them down if
    you want, but you are not allowed to take photos of those “unveiled“ blanks.
