ECON20010

Learning Outcomes:

The aim of this module is to give students the conceptual basis and the necessary tools for understanding modern microeconomics. By the end of the module, students should have an understanding of basic microeconomic theory of consumer behaviour and the theory of the firm. Students will have a clear understanding of the assumptions behind these microeconomic models and of the techniques used to analyse them. Students should be familiar with simple models of industrial organisation. On successful completion of this module students will also have plenty of practice at problem solving through attendance at tutorials and self-directed learning.
