Overview
Key facts
London School of Economics and Political Science's Introductory Microeconomics course seeks to introduce microeconomic analysis as a way of understanding the world. You will be exposed to important topics like consumer choice theory, the theory of production and costs, the economics of time, and the impact of market failure and government intervention. You will be exposed to standard microeconomic theory to develop your economic intuition, whilst also gaining economic tools that support this intuition along the way.
This highly interactive course allows you to practice the theories you learn through active class discussion, class-based exercises, and feedback from faculty and peers. By the end of the course, you will understand how microeconomics is applied to real-world problems, helping you develop a microeconomic mindset when thinking about issues that are relevant for practice and policy.
