This course provides an introductory overview of modern economics and is designed for students with no previous background in economics. Although, the approach is analytical as befits modern economics, the analysis is pursued in a non-technical manner with the principles developed using verbal reasoning complemented with graphical methods. Upon completion of the module students will be able to demonstrate an awareness of the concepts and principles central to the discipline of economics and be able to apply those principles to analyze elementary economic problems and comment on their implications. Furthermore, students will be able to discuss the predictions of elementary theories of the firm in a variety of market contexts (including perfect competition and monopoly) and be able to assess the implications of government fiscal and monetary policy in context of the theories covered in the module.
