ECON202 Introduction to Microeconomics
An introduction to economics with an emphasis on microeconomics (producer theory, market structures, game theory, externalities). We introduce models to discuss incentives on the demand and supply side, think about market structures and how policies affect market outcomes. The last two-thirds of the course build on these tools to think about deviations from the gold standard: externalities, public goods and asymmetric information.

ECON330 Behavioural Economics
Standard economic theory assumes that people are perfectly rational, have unlimited willpower, and only care about their own payoffs. Behavioral economics asks: what happens when we replace these assumptions with what psychology tells us about how people actually think and behave? We cover key departures from the standard models - like how people use mental shortcuts that lead to predictable biases, struggle with self-control, and care about fairness and social comparisons. Throughout, we connect theory to real-world applications and look at empirical evidence to see when these behavioral insights actually matter for predicting behavior and designing better policies.
