Grading: Homework assignments total 70 points plus 2 hour exams @ 15 points each = 100 points. Course Objectives: At the end of this course you should understand how competitive market processes generally yield efficient allocations of resources through time and between alternative uses; how various market failures arise and affect allocative efficiency; how sound economic policies can correct these failures, and how bad policies can worsen them. Class Policies: Most of the course assignments require use of Microsoft Excel. Assignments must be turned in by their due dates; no late work will be accepted. You may consult with other students for clarifications of these problems, but the answers you submit must be your own. You are expected to comply with the University's policies on academic honesty as explained in the leaflet distributed by the Office of the Dean of Students. Course Outline:
