The Introduction to Microeconomics course provides an overview of the modern market economy as a system for dealing with the problem of scarcity. Over the years, Dr. Matthew Roelofs has incorporated a number of innovations into his teaching, including allowing students to actively participate in economics experiments during the class. These experiments help the students gain a deeper understanding of complex economic principles.
