Description

ECON202 is the first of two courses of a coordinated sequence of courses that introduce students to the three pillars of economic analysis (choice, scarcity, and coordination) and the mathematical techniques that economists use to represent these ideas (optimisation, equilibrium, and adding-up constraints). The sequence is largely devoted to "price theory", which is the analysis of the role that prices play in facilitating coordination in a market economy. ECON202 introduces students to the modelling of consumer and firm choices.
