2/23/08.  Welcome to Economics 1B.  This is microeconomics which covers the study of individual markets, supply and demand, externalities, public goods, efficiency, market structure, and many other related topics.   Check this page if you have to miss a class and before each quiz or exam.

As an alternative to the Internet Research Assignment you can watch the 3-part video on Greed and write a 2-page paper.  If you watch the Greed video, then your paper should include a summary of the key points or events in the 3-parts of the Greed video plus some well thought out comments about the content of the video.
