This is the introductory class for the principles of microeconomics. It serves as an introduction to economics to an audience that is not familiar with Calculus. Those who have taken Calculus should consider taking (intermediate) microeconomics instead. One interesting feature of this class is that there will be various classroom experiments throughout the semester, and students are expected to participate actively. This course is taught in English, and all assignments are in English. If you feel that you would be in a disadvantaged position, please take other principles classes instead. Junrok will teach during the TA discussion sections on Monday and Wednesday in Week 1 so that you can decide whether this is the right course. If this is your first time learning an academic subject in English (this is different from studying English), be prepared to put in extra effort.

The goal of this class is to introduce how economists think (without the math required for intermediate microeconomics), and, help you think like an economist! Specifically, we will see how economists observe real world phenomenon, build simplified models of reality, derive theories to provide policy advice, and test implications with empirical or experimental data.

There are no prerequisites for this course.
