课程名称：企业层面经济学：市场与资源配置 课程概述：本课程探讨市场中价格的作用，价格作为资源分配的工具，能够影响生产和消费，以寻找均衡。在本课程中，您将学习如何构建需求曲线以捕捉消费者行为，以及构建供应曲线以捕捉生产者行为。最终形成的均衡价格“配给”稀缺商品。此外，课程还将考察市场受政府干预的方式以及这些干预的影响。 您将能够： - 解释不同市场结构如何导致不同的资源配置。 - 模拟外部冲击对特定市场结构的影响，并展示这种外部冲击之后新的均衡价格和数量。 - 评估均衡的效率。 - 解释政府何时以及为何可能通过监管权威或反垄断诉讼来减少某些市场中的低效情况。 - 描述信息问题如何导致低效结果。 - 了解外部性并考虑对这些市场失灵的最佳政府响应。 该课程是Gies商学院在线项目的一部分，包括iMBA和iMSM。更多关于这些项目的入学信息，以及如何在被接受为学位项目时利用您的Coursera学习成果，请访问：https://degrees.giesbusiness.illinois.edu/idegrees/ 课程大纲： 1. 课程导向：熟悉课程结构、同学和学习环境，并获得必要的技术技能。 2. 模块一：完美竞争市场：介绍完美竞争市场的概念，分析短期和长期均衡结果，分析冲击对均衡的影响。 3. 模块二：垄断市场与效率：构建效率度量，评估竞争市场的效率，介绍垄断市场结构并使用效率度量评价资源配置。 4. 模块三：寡头垄断与博弈论：分析少数大型生产者的市场，探讨竞争对手之间的合谋安排，利用博弈论模型化均衡。 5. 模块四：市场失灵：探讨即使在看似高效的完全竞争市场中也可能出现的市场失灵，分析信息问题与外部性（如污染）的影响。
Name:Course Orientation
Description:You will become familiar with the course, your classmates, and our learning environment. The orientation will also help you obtain the technical skills required for the course.
Name:Module 1: Perfect Competition
Description:This module introduces the concept of a perfectly competitive market. It is a benchmark construction, but it accurately models many markets in our economy. We will understand equilibrium outcomes in both the short run and the long run. We will understand how to analyze shocks to these equilibria.
Name:Module 2: Monopoly Markets and Efficiency
Description:Analysts can predict equilibrium outcomes with some degree of certainty. We want to construct a measure of efficiency that will allow us to evaluate the attractiveness of these equilibrium market outcomes. After using this metric to consider the efficiency of the competitive market, we will introduce a different market structure, monopoly, and use our efficiency metric to evaluate the equilibrium resource allocation under monopoly.
Name:Module 3: Oligopoly and Game Theory
Description:Perfectly competitive markets have many sellers. Monopoly has one seller. But much economic activity takes place in markets with just a handful of very large producers. These are called oligopoly markets. We will look at collusive arrangements among a small number of rivals, and then will use simple game theoretic techniques to model equilibrium.
Name:Module 4: Market Failures
Description:Sometimes even markets that appear to be capable of great efficiency in resource allocation, such as the perfectly competitive market, can fall short of efficiency. Economists call this market failure. In this module, we will consider information issues and the impact on efficiency. We will also introduce externalities (spillovers) such as pollution and model these impacts.
In markets, prices act as rationing devices, encouraging or discouraging production and consumption to find an equilibrium. In this course, you will learn to construct demand curves to capture consumer behavior and supply curves to capture producer behavior. The resulting equilibrium price “rations” the scarce commodity. Additionally, the course examines the ways in which markets are subject government intervention and the impacts of these interventions. You will be able to: • Explain how different market structures result in different resource allocations • Model the impact of external shocks to a particular market structure and demonstrate the new equilibrium price and quantity after the impact of this external shock has played out • Evaluate the efficiency of an equilibrium • Explain when and why the government might intervene with regulatory authority or antitrust litigation to lessen inefficiencies in some markets • Describe how information problems can cause inefficient outcomes • Understand externalities and consider optimal government response to these market failures This course is part of Gies College of Business’ suite of online programs, including the iMBA and iMSM.
