Course Description:

This course introduces the basic concepts and tools of microeconomics and their application in the context of arts, culture, and business. Through lectures, case studies, in-class work, and field study, students learn the economic influences that help determine how and what cultural goods and services get produced and consumed.

We host classes from Monday through Thursday, from 10:00 AM to 08:45 PM. There are no classes on Friday.
