The Fisher supervisor may assign other work in addition to TWC requirements. In no case will the total credits exceed 16.

    This is the first course of two that comprise an introduction to economics. Together, they provide the student with a solid grounding in economic principles and familiarize him or her with the institutions and policies that influence economic activity. For those who elect to major in Economics, they also provide the base upon which subsequent courses will build. Introduction to Microeconomics studies the economy from the perspective of individual consumers and producers who interact in a market setting. It shows how their choices influence the production and distribution of goods and services and considers the criteria that can be used to assess these outcomes. The course also studies how government intervention can affect the behavior of consumers, producers, and workers and alter market outcomes.

    This course complements ECON 105C and studies the economy from an aggregated rather than an individual perspective. Students learn how the overall levels of income and production and the rates of inflation and unemployment are determined; they consider how economic activity is affected by the federal government's taxing and spending policies and by the Federal Reserve's monetary policy practices. These topics are covered in order to develop the students' understanding of U.S. economic performance in light of an increasingly integrated world economy. Recommended prerequisite: ECON 105C.

    The overall economic well-being of Americans is primarily determined by how much they are paid. In this course, the student comes to understand the subtle and significant reasons why some groups are paid more than others.

    This course develops the theoretical frameworks of the Classical and Keynesian schools of thought and contrasts their views of GDP, employment, inflation, and interest rate determination. The behavior of important macroeconomic aggregates such as consumption, investment, government spending, and the balance of trade will be modeled in each school and then synthesized to provide a broader understanding of the causes of recession, inflation and, in general, observed fluctuations in the U.S. economy. Historical macroeconomic data will serve to both support and challenge traditional macroeconomic ideology. Prerequisite: ECON 106C.
