12 courses with the subject ECO, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.

The course also investigates the fundamentals of supply and demand, market structure and performance, and the basic principles that surround all resource markets (labor and capital). Finally, it will examine the market structures of pure competition, pure monopolies, monopolistic competition, and oligopolies.
