Topics include demand analysis, production and cost, pricing and output decisions under different market structures. Product and factor markets will be analyzed. Pre-requisites: ECON 110, ECON 111 and MATH 140 or MATH 150. Course Time: Wednesday, 6:00-8:50 pm Course Location: Bell Tower 1602 Office Hours: Wednesday, 5:00-6:00 pm Office Location: Sage Hall 2016 Phone: no voice mail set up please email me Email: robert.deuson@csuci.edu Textbook: Michael Baye, Managerial Economics, 6th, McGraw-Hill 2009 Course Learning Objectives Students who successfully complete this course will be able to: Identify positive and normative methods of analysis. Derive and interpret the optimality conditions for the constrained optimization problems faced by consumers and producers. Identify the key factors affecting demand and supply, and conduct comparative static analyses of changes in demand and supply conditions. Incorporate risk considerations as part of optimal decision-making. Apply fundamental economic reasoning to real-world situations, and generate logically consistent arguments regarding economic efficiency. Distinguish and determine the efficiency implications of various forms of market structure. Project the economic consequences of business decisions or policy changes from the short run to the long run. Identify circumstances where markets may fail and forecast likely outcomes of such failures. Analyze government solutions to market failures. What is this course about? Although it is housed within the Business & Economics program at 91Ƶ, economics is actually a social science: a discipline focused on the explanation of human behavior. This course builds on your introductory courses to develop further your economic intuition and apply more advanced tools of economics to increasingly complex situations. In particular, the course focuses on the application of economic rationale to a broad array of managerial situations. Ideally, you will leave this course understanding how and why economics is important, useful and relevant to everyday decisions in a wide variety of situations. How do I teach? Dr. Rivera (who teaches the first section) and I share a common philosophy on teaching Managerial Economics. This is a corner stone course in which you will learn how to: (1) identify management problems; (2) think critically for the purpose of solving them; (3) choose the appropriate economic tool(s) to solve them; (4) apply these tools to make your decision; and (5) evaluate the results of your decision. To that end, Dr. Rivera and myself emphasize a multi-faceted approach that will require both your quantitative skills, learned in this course and in other foundation courses you took (hence the term corner stone course), as well as your communication skills (written and oral). This course will emphasize depth of understanding over breadth. Rather than introduce you to a dizzying array of concepts and tools, we will instead focus on a solid understanding of the application of economic analysis tools to solve problems you will encounter as a manager in your professional life. In todays fast moving business environment, solving problems is nearly impossible without a team approach. Learn early how to communicate your ideas and your approach to solving problems with your team mates. Participate actively in classroom (and out of classroom) discussions. You dont understand or you are not sure you do? Ask questions in class, in my office, to your peers. This is your privileged time to learn. What should you do to succeed in this course? Come to Class: Attendance is expected. Lecture will be your best source of information for this course. Missing class means missing valuable discussion, quizzes and information regarding assignments. Read the Book: Students are notoriously reluctant to read textbooks, but the truth is that the text can be an extremely valuable source of information and clarification. Do the Work: Economics is a way of thinking, but to understand it takes practice... and "practice" means homework. Working your way through problems is an excellent learning tool, especially for those who lack confidence in their mathematical skills. Please note that, by necessity, this course makes intensive use of algebra and limited use of the calculus, including partial derivatives. If you are rusty, brush up on these skills early in the class. How will you be graded? Exams (60%): A midterm and a final, 30% each. Yes, the final is cumulative! Take-home quizzes (20%): Two comprehensive quizzes will be scheduled throughout the semester. No make-up quizzes will be given. In-class participation quizzes (20%): Quizzes as you enter the classroom. The final course grade is based on the percentage of total points earned throughout the semester calculated as the ratio of the weighted sum of all points earned to the weighted sum of all points possible. What are the exams and quizzes like? The exams and quizzes in this course are designed to challenge your ability to use the tools of economics to analyze real world problems. Some will be thought problems to test your ability to think rationally: there may be no single right answer to these. Others may be more technical. All will be based on materials we have covered together. I may put bonus questions on a quiz or exam to challenge you and give you an opportunity to learn and earn more. As class time permits, we will work on problems with which you have had difficulty on a quiz or exam. Exams Fifty percent (50%) of each exam will consist of objective questions -- multiple choices, true/false or matching -- primarily to test your mastery of the basic skills introduced in the course. The answers to these questions will typically require analytical skills and some amount of mathematics. Strive for synthesis of concepts over memorization. The remaining fifty percent (50%) will be divided (not always equally) between problem solving questions and essay questions. In addition to proper application of the appropriate analytical techniques, careful explanations in clear and concise written English are essential components in answering these questions. Quizzes Take-home quizzes will most closely emulate essay questions and problems on an exam. As take-home exercises, I expect them to be submitted typed, if you please. Quality of exposition and professionalism of presentation will count for part of your score. I value both completeness and conciseness: more words do not necessarily earn you more points. Most problems may be solved with the help of a calculator. Some problems may require the use of a computer and available software (mostly Excel). In-class unscheduled quizzes will be a mixture of multiple choice questions and short problems that can be solved by hand (e.g. graphic, algebra) or with a basic calculator. Academic Honesty All work that students submit as their own work must, in fact, be their own work. Verbatim language taken from other sources -- books, papers, web sites, people, etc. -- must be placed in quotation marks and the source identified. Similarly, work on tests and exams must be the student's own work, not copied or taken from other students' work. In accordance with the CSU Channel Islands policy on academic dishonesty, students in this course who submit the work of others as their own (plagiarize), cheat on tests or examinations, help other students cheat or plagiarize, or commit other acts of academic dishonesty will receive appropriate academic penalties, up to and including failing the course. Assignments or papers with plagiarized language or ideas will receive a failing grade. Plagiarism or cheating on quizzes or exams will also result in a failing grade. In cases where the cheating or plagiarism was premeditated or planned, students may receive an F for the course. Students are encouraged to consult with the instructor on when and how to document sources if they have questions about what might constitute an act of plagiarism or cheating. Topics The following is the general list of topics I intend to discuss this semester: Ch. 1 Fundamentals of Managerial Economics Ch. 2 Demand and Supply Ch. 3 Quantitative Analysis Ch. 4 Individual Behavior Ch. 5 Production Costs Ch. 6 Organization of the Firm Ch. 7 The Nature of Industry Ch. 8 Market Structures Ch. 9 Oligopoly Ch. 10 Game Theory Ch. 11 Pricing Strategy Ch. 12 Economics of Information Ch. 13 Advanced Topics Ch. 14 The Government in the Market Place Please note that I may teach additional topics that draw on the skills presented in this book. Overall, I will stay close to the book materials but at time, I may digress from the book. If you are not in class at that time, the book will be of limited help. I tend to like my digressions and usually I put some questions about them on the quizzes and exams.
