課程說明
Course Description
This is a two consecutive semesters course. There are five major parts of subjects to be introduced in this course. The subjects of the first part are about the household. We will focus on individual consumer's decision making with and without uncertainty. In the second part, we will focus on the decision making at the level of individual firm. Given the technological opportunities available to it, how much output will a firm choose to see, and how will the firm go about producing this output? In the third part, the competitive model will be introduced. We will see a competitive market produces results that are in some sense "good". In the fourth, we will see different kinds of market structures. The price and output decisions under different market structrue will be analyzed and compared with those under perfect competition. In the last part, the problem of missing market will be discussed. In the presence of asymmetric information, the markets for certain commodities may not come into existence. Even if markets exist, they may fail to allocate resources efficiently.

教學進度
Syllabus
本學期預定講授指定教科書前八章, 平均每兩週講授一章. 每章均有作業, 由學生自行練習無須繳交. 每章課程講授完畢將舉行一次小考.其重點如下所示：
In this semester, the first 8 chapters of the textbooks will be lectured. It takes 2 weeks to teach a chapter. There is homework in every chapter that students can practice by themselves and don’t need to hand in. A quiz will be held after a chapter is finished teaching. The key points are as followed：
| ♠ | 個體經濟學與市場經濟體系 Microeconomics and market structure |
| 如：稀少性、生產可能曲線、經濟模型、經濟模型的檢定、循環流量模型、供需模型、市場均衡、 比較靜態分析、 數學模型
Example：rarity, production possibility curve, economics models, verification of economics models, circulation flow models, demand-supply models, market equilibrium, comparative static analysis, mathematical model
|
| ♠ | 消費者行為consumer behavior |
| 如：偏好、特殊形式的偏好、效用函數、序列效用與計數效用、預算限制、其他特別形狀的預算限制、預算者均衡、以拉格朗日法求最適解、拉格朗日乘數的意義、 角解、消費者均衡分析的應用.
Example：preference, special-type preference, utility function, ordinal utility and cardinal utility, budget line, other special-type budget lines, equilibrium of the consumer, using Lagrangian to approach the most appropriate answer, The meaning of Lagrange multiplier, corner solution, application of analyzingequilibrium of the consumer
|
| ♠ | 比較靜態與需求函數compare static and demand function |
| 如：貨幣所得改變、產品自身價格變動與個人需求曲線、需求與價格消費曲線、需求量與求變動、其他產品價格改變、市場需求曲線、網路外部性、 彈性、需求彈性、需求彈性與總支出、所得彈性與交叉彈性.
Example：monetary income change, change of the product price and personal demand curve, demand and price consumption curve, quantity demanded and variation, other products’ price change, market demand curve, network externality, elasticity, demand elasticity, demand elasticity and aggregate expenditure, income elasticity and cross-price elasticity
|
| ♠ | 消費者行為的進一步分析further analysis of consumer behavior： |
| 如：替代效果與所得效果、補償需求曲線、史拉斯基方程式、淨替代與淨互補品、價格變動與福利、補償變量與等值變量、消費者剩餘、消費者剩餘問題、顯示性偏好理論、顯示性偏好弱公理、替代效果與所得效果、顯示偏好。
