Microeconomics BEA470
Introduction
Microeconomics is essential for advancing understanding of human behaviours and evaluating the impact of public policy and business practices. The unit builds upon the materials covered in undergraduate economic units. The goal of the unit is to apply the basic principles of microeconomics to analyse a range of real-world problems and policy issues that involve the behaviour of consumers and firms and market interaction. The unit covers both theoretical and empirical approaches in microeconomics.
