This course will discuss the basic principles of microeconomics, but in a more formal and structured way than the introductory economics does. The topics will include the classical price theory (consumer choice, producer theory and market equilibrium analysis), market failure (externality and public goods), as well as some recent exciting developments in game theory and information economics. While we try as much as possible to demonstrate the beauty and rigor of microeconomic theories, we will apply these analytical tools to the real world and test the validity of their predictions. I will use many real world examples to show the relevance and power of economic thinking. To be sure, the principles we will cover in this course provide the foundation of almost all theories in modern economics.
Economics
经济学是一门对产品和服务的生产、分配以及消费进行研究的社会科学，注重的是研究经济行为者在一个经济体系下的行为，以及他们彼此之间的互动，即人类经济活动的规律。 在现代，经济学的教材通常将这门领域的研究分为宏观经济学和微观经济学。微观经济学检视一个社会里基本层次的行为，包括个体的行为者以及与市场的互动。而宏观经济学则分析整个经济体和其议题，包括失业、通货膨胀、经济成长、财政和货币政策等。
