INTERMEDIATE MICROECONOMICS

This is an intermediate-level course dealing with the microeconomic theory of consumer and producer behavior. The course extends basic microeconomics concepts and theory to an intermediate level by introducing more advanced mathematical and analytical techniques to concepts of consumer choice, profit maximization, and firm strategy in a variety of market structures. Particular attention is given to the theory of production and cost and to the effects of various market structures on resource allocation. The goal of the course is to provide the students with a solid analytical framework for analyzing microeconomic problems, which are crucial for success in upper division courses, business management, and public policy analysis.
