Econ 11 - Microeconomic Theory

Undergraduate course, UCLA, Economics, 2022

This course provides a rigorous introduction to the fundamental tools of microeconomics. The first half focuses on consumer choice theory and demand-side economics, including utility maximization, expenditure minimization, and income and substitution effects. The second half develops supply-side economics through production functions, cost minimization, and profit maximization, culminating in both partial and general equilibrium analysis. Students learn to approach economic questions analytically and build the technical foundation necessary for advanced work in economics.
