Course Introduction and Description: This course is an introduction to microeconomics. This course focuses on how economic decisions are made by individuals, firms, organizational structures, and governments. Microeconomics introduces students to the cost-benefits analysis that is the economic way of thinking. This analysis is used to understand smaller agents of the economy-specifically, consumers and producers-as they interact in output markets and resource markets, and to understand the government’s impact on these specific economic units. We will examine the economic principles concerning individual decision makers within an economy. The main areas of concentration include basic economic concepts; the nature and functions of product markets; factor markets; and efficiency, equity, and the role of government. Supply and demand analysis is developed to demonstrate how market prices are determined, how those prices determine an economy’s allocation of goods and services, how factors of production are allocated in the production process, and how goods and services are distributed throughout the economy. Furthermore, we evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of economic decision makers by using the concepts of efficiency and equity. We also analyze and evaluate the effects of government intervention. Emphasis is placed on reasoned logical argument so that we can use economics as a method and model for decision making. Students are expected to apply their critical thinking skills.…

The North American Free Trade created in 1994 affected Wal -Mart`s success in Mexico in three specific ways. Wal-Mart had a marketing campaign where it offered “Every Day Low Prices”, but this was not quite true in Mexico because it had significant import charges on many of the products brought from the U.S. After the implementation of NAFTA, Mexico became a free trade zone. This made it possible for Wal- Mart to reduce its tariff from 10% to 3 %. This led the government to solve the logistical problem due to the fact that Mexico`s transportation system was below average. NAFTA encourages Mexico to improve the transportation system, which lowers the logistical cost. Additionally, NAFTA allows foreign investment in Mexico. As a result, Wal-Mart was able to build manufacturing plants in Mexico because of the cheap labor. In this particular case we can observe how low labor cost contributes to obtain low import tariffs therefore leads to cheaper products. Wal-Mart`s success in Mexico was definitely possible because of the NAFTA implementation.…

Some of these concepts however provide only the logical base and have to be modified in practice.…
