Microeconomics is set up as a platform course of economic manageme

3、nt discipline in business school. As a professional basic theory course, microeconomics focuses on the teaching of basic concepts, laws and theories, so that students can have a detailed understanding of the general principles and normative behaviors of the operation mechanism of market economy, and

4、 can use some basic economic analysis methods and tools to make some empirical descriptions and scores of relevant theories and models. Finally, the core content of economics is how to optimize the allocation and make full use of social resources. This course is not only a basic course to standardiz
