• Principles of Economics

  • Terms: Spring 2024, Fall 2024, Spring 2025

  • Course Description (ECON 2): The course provides a survey of economics principles and methods. It covers both microeconomics, the study of consumer choice, firm behavior, and market interaction, and macroeconomics, the study of economic growth, unemployment, and inflation. Special emphasis is placed on the application of economic tools to contemporary economic problems and policies. Economics 2 differs from Economics 1 in that it has an additional hour of lecture per week and can thus cover topics in greater depth. It is particularly appropriate for intended economics majors.

• Macroeconomics (Quantitative)

  • Term: Fall 2023

  • Course Description (ECON 101B): This course introduces students to the main approaches economists use to describe how the economy works at the aggregate level. Topics covered include economic growth, business cycles, the determinants of aggregate employment, unemployment, and inflation, and the effects of monetary and fiscal policy. This course uses calculus intensively and is intended for students with a strong mathematical background. Topics covered are similar to those in 100B.
