| 備考/ NotesNotes |
The objective of this course is to introduce basic economic concepts and theories of both microeconomics and macroeconomics. Through extensive class discussions students are expected to have a deeper understanding of basic economic concepts and be able to explain and analyze various economic issues. Upon the completion of this course, students are expected to master the way economists think and obtain basic skills to use economic methods to solve the real-life situations of their interest.
This course highlights the importance of economics as a social science and summarizes the evolution of economic science by introducing different economic theories. Students will learn basic economic concepts of contemporary microeconomics (scarcity, choice, opportunity costs, demand, supply, market, equilibrium, competition, public goods, government intervention) and macroeconomics (macroeconomic objectives, fiscal and monetary policy, economic development). The course will also provide an overview of basic economic theories applied in economic analysis.
This is a reading and discussion-based course. The instructor will deliver full lectures of Chapter 1 and Chapter 2. After that, students are required to do preliminary reading and prepare short presentations on topics related to the next chapters. Class discussions will be followed up by short lectures by the instructor.
