We will consider activities that markets don’t directly capture - the value of an historic preservation district or the costs imposed by pollution - in November and December during Gateway: Planning Economics, 11.202. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=555600 This introductory course teaches the fundamentals of microeconomics.

It is recommended for students planning to apply to graduate school in economics, accounting, or finance. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=555923 This subject considers three topics of macroeconomics that are alive and controversial for policy today. The topics are: economic growth - the roles of capital accumulation, increased education, and technological progress in determining economic growth; savings - the effect of government and private debt on economic growth; and exchange-rate regimes - their role in the Great Depression and today. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=555616 This course provides an introduction to microeconomic theory and is the first course in the microeconomic theory series. It is intended for graduate students in the economics program. Some components of the course are designed to teach material that all graduate students should know while others are used to introduce methodologies. Topics of recent interest will also be covered and may include: theories of production and individual choice (under certainty and uncertainty); markets and competition; tools of comparative statics and their application to price theory. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=555891 This half-semester course provides an introduction to microeconomic theory designed to meet the needs of students in the economics Ph.D. program. Some parts of the course are designed to teach material that all graduate students should know. Others are used to introduce methodologies. Topics include consumer and producer theory, markets and competition, general equilibrium, and tools of comparative statics and their application to price theory. Some topics of recent interest may also be covered. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=555614 The central topic of this course is the theory of general equilibrium and its applications and extensions. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=555719 The topic of the class is information economics.
