Review of economic principles, for students in need of a refresher
-- Alas, these notes do not include graphs.  Here, however, are some related notes, courtesy of Prof. John Kane, with striking multi-colored graphics.  One would do well to take a look at these, too:
---- * Notes on supply, demand, pricing, and profits in a perfectly competitive market
---- * Notes on monopoly pricing and the dead-weight loss from monopoly

The current syllabus is not available online.  I expect I'll post it here only if it changes a lot.  Anyone curious to see an old syllabus for this course can take a look at the one for Fall 2002 or Fall 2001.

Web sites that may be of great help to your research paper:

• Do an ECONLIT search for articles, books, etc. on any topic (on the next page, scroll down a bit and click the "Economics" link, then clink the "Econlit" link)
• Search SOCIAL SCIENCES ABSTRACTS for additional articles on any topic (same deal -- on the next page, click "Economics," then click "Social Sciences Abstracts")
