講義概要/Course description
|
The main concern of this course is the construction of theoretical models, which is based on microeconomics. However, the goal of such models is always to learn something about the real world. The main goal of this course is to introduce you to the most important models that economists use to explain the behavior of consumers, firms, government, and markets. These models are main issue to the study of all areas of economics. Therefore, it is essential to make out both the need for such models and the basic framework used to develop them. In particular, I plan to concentrate on systems specific to the United States and social customs.
