Economics 3 (H) is a prerequisite for entry into the Economics IV honours programme. It helps determine whether a student is admitted to the programme and helps prepare students for it. The course provides an introduction to the formal analysis of a variety of topics to help prepare students for their honours year coursework and thesis and broaden their exposure to applications of economics. The course introduces new topics not covered in previous economics courses in the major and also extends and applies some familiar topics. Microeconomic principles will be applied to examine topics from microeconomic theory, public economics, labour economics, welfare economics, general equilibrium, financial economics, law and economics, international trade theory, and industrial organisation. Applications and public policy issues examined include asset pricing, the social discount rate, environmental economics, regulation of natural monopoly, traffic congestion, choice under uncertainty and over time, and taxation
