1 LAHORE UNIVERSITY OF MANAGEMENT SCIENCES SULEMAN DAWOOD SCHOOL OF BUSINESS MECO 111 Principles of Microeconomics Dr. Bushra Naqvi COURSE OUTLINE ACF Fall 2011/12
2 Instructor: Dr. Bushra Naqvi Room No: 312 Telephone: Ext:8321 Office Hours: TBA Secretary/ TA TBA COURSE OVERVIEW This course covers the basic principles of microeconomic analysis. Material covered will include decision making processes of economic agents and their interaction facilitated through markets. The outcome of their interaction will depend on the nature of the market, whether it is characterized by competition or monopoly. Markets are also subject to the interventions of the government, are regulated by society and are also subject to various types of failures. To this end, we will study the concept of economic efficiency to provide a basis for the appraisal of market performance and intervention. Although this course focuses on the general principles of microeconomic analysis, applications of these principles to issues of current importance will also be pointed out. Upon completion of the course students should have a better understanding of how a market economy operates and the ways in which imperfect markets hinder the efficient allocation of resources. By the end of this course, students should be able to discuss economic issues, applying critical thinking and rational inquiry to complex real life issues. A good grasp of microeconomics is vital for any student for understanding policy making, managerial decision making, and more generally for comprehending how the modern economy works. RECOMMENDED READINGS Recommended Text: Principles of Microeconomics (3 rd Ed.) by N. Gregory Mankiw Supplementary Text: Microeconomics (7 th Ed.) by R.S. Pindyck, D.L. Rubinfeld & P.L.
