PUBPOL 5210
Intermediate Microeconomics for Public Affairs

Course information provided by the 2024-2025 Catalog. Courses of Study 2024-2025 is scheduled to publish mid-June.

The primary learning goals of this course are (1) to understand the core concepts of microeconomics and (2) to develop analytical/problem-solving skills. This course differs from typical intermediate-level microeconomic courses in that there will be more emphasis on the role of policy and the public sector in the economy, although understanding the role and effectiveness of markets will remain central.  This course is not a substitute for a full-semester comprehensive course in public economics but is a good foundation for that field-level course.
