ECO101H1F		Principles of Microeconomics • Calendar entry
	L0101	Robert Gazzale • outline • Learning outcomes	MWF3	CH
		Use the basic analytical principles and tools of modern economics to understand and assess observed economic phenomena, contemporary economic problems and government economic policies. Explain how resources are allocated and income is distributed in a market economy. Describe and model the behaviour of economic agents, including households, firms and governments, and explain how these behaviours affect the determination of prices, quantities and welfare in individual markets for commodities and resources.

		Understand the concept of economic equilibrium and its role in economists’ use of simple models to approximate controlled experiments in the natural sciences. Proficiently apply the economic way of thinking to explain economic and non-economic events using simple models that focus on important variables while setting aside unnecessary complications. Distinguish positive from normative claims about economic events and policies. Appreciate the limitations of economic models for explaining economic and non-economic events. Use cost/benefit analysis to identify the trade-offs, including intended and unintended consequences, of all choices. Explain the objectives, successes, and failures of government policies such as minimum wages, rent controls, competition policy, environmental policy, trade policy, and tax and income redistribution policy. Find data measuring macroeconomic outcomes including GDP, economic growth, unemployment, inflation, and understand the limitations of each measure. Describe the fundamental macroeconomic question of whether markets quickly self-adjust, and explain both the hands-off and hands-on positions on the role of government fiscal and monetary policy. Come to an informed personal opinion about the appropriate role of government in macroeconomic policy. Write persuasive, informed opinion pieces about microeconomic and macroeconomic policy issues for a general audience.

		By the end of this course, students will be able to utilize constrained-optimization techniques to analyze behavior of both consumers and producers. By the end of this course, students will be able to identify the conditions that lead to different market structures, and analyze the differing resulting equilibrium predictions in those markets. By the end of this course, students will be able to apply game theory concepts to make predictions about equilibrium outcomes in both simultaneous and sequential move games. By the end of this course, students will be able to evaluate the impact of making economic models increasingly realistic and complex through the introduction of elements of uncertainty, asymmetric information, and externalities.

	L0101	Gustavo Indart • Learning outcomes	R10-1	RW 143
		Integrate the study of macroeconomics and development economics by focusing on both the stability of economic systems and the long-term process of economic growth. Construct a theoretical and policy framework applicable to both middle-income developing countries and resource-rich developed countries. Recognize the exchange rate as the key macroeconomic variable in the determination not only of exports and imports, but also of the investment rate, the saving rate, and the inflation rate. Examine the causes of observed cyclical overvaluation of the exchange rate in this group of countries, particularly Dutch disease and excessive reliance on external savings.
