About The Position

The Girard School of Business at Merrimack College has openings for in-person Undergraduate courses for Introduction of Economics and Intermediate Micro-economics, for the Fall 2026 semester. The courses start on August 31st and will run through December 18th, 2026. The courses are in-person, on-campus for all scheduled classes and all interested applicants must be able to deliver the course in this modality. An Introduction of Economics (ECO1201) is an introduction to how people in society confront the economic problem; i.e., how societies provision themselves. The course contains components of both microeconomic and macroeconomics theory and issues. Topics include the normative criteria for judging markets, the supply and demand model, business cycles, unemployment, inflation, and economic policy. Intermediate Microeconomics (ECO2201) focuses on how the price system allocates resources and goods in a manner that maximizes the well-being of society. The optimizing behavior of both producers and consumers is explained and analyzed. Their behavior under the conditions of a perfect market is shown to result in the greatest benefit to society. The breakdown of those conditions such as monopoly, power and/or externalities, is shown to bring less beneficial results. The analytic concepts used to do this are the fundamental tools of the economist.
