Microeconomics is the analysis of the manner in which markets resolve the problem posed by the reality of scarce resources. A model of efficiency is constructed and is analyzed through the topics of demand, supply, production, distribution, consumer choice, the behavior of the firm, and market structure. A consideration of market failures and the role of government in a market-driven society complete the analysis. Other topics include international trade and finance.
Economics II serves as the next course in the sequence begun with Economics I: Macroeconomics.
