Economics II (ECII-UF)
ECII-UF 102 Principles of Microeconomics (4 Credits)
Typically offered Fall and Spring
The course introduces fundamental concepts of microeconomic analysis by
examining price theory and its application. After an overview of
introductory economic concepts, such as comparative advantage, opportunity
costs, and supply and demand, the course investigates the decision-making
process of consumers and producers. The theory of the household and the
firm is followed by the analysis of different market structures (perfect
competition, monopoly, monopolistic competition, oligopoly), possible
causes for market failure, and the effects of government intervention in
free markets. *ECI-UF 101 and ECII-UF 102 may meet some of the equivalent
course requirements for the College of Arts and Science. Students may take
ECI-UF 101 and ECII-UF 102 in any order; neither course is a pre-requisite
for the other.
