Abstract
Welcome to Intermediate Micro! This is the first semester this course has been offered in its current form at
Rhodes College. It is far from the first time such a course has ever been taught, however. Intermediate‐level
microeconomic theory is the lynchpin to any undergraduate course of study in economics. ECON 101
introduced you to the method of analysis employed by economists and some of the basic tools available to
economists to answer some interesting questions. ECON 201 will expand and deepen your toolset so that you
can begin to think of your own questions and imagine how you might model them. This course is essential to
continued study in upper‐level courses one might consider “field courses” in applied microeconomics (e.g.,
international trade, labor economics, and public economics). ECON 201 is also an important complement, in
its increased mathematical rigor, to study of statistical/econometric methods and theoretical game theory.
