麻省理工学院“开放式课程网页” | 都市研究与计划 | 11.203 2002秋季课程：微观经济

微观经济学/规划经济学是都市计划研究生必修的两门基础课程，以下除解说基础课程的结构外，亦列了课程大纲及注意事项。

这个课程的一个特色是用一套以网页系统为基础的工具来帮助学生想像及试验各种不同的个经概念。以上的简图案例截取自我们所用的工具群，你可在http://plaza.mit.edu/econ这个网站中取得更多的工具。我们邀请你一同体验，同时，因为这些工具还在发展的阶段，所以请过这个网站的网页告诉我们你喜欢及不喜欢的地方，或是你希望再加入什么样的工具等等意见。

Microeconomics/Planning Economics is taught as two modular courses to Master of City Planning students. The logistics of the modules are explained below and syllabi and course notes follow.

A feature of the course is a set of web-based tools designed to help a student visualize and experiment with various microeconomic concepts. The screenshot above is from the example in our tools section. More of these tools are available at http://plaza.mit.edu/econ. We invite you to experiment with them, and because they are in development, to please send us your feedback – the aspects you like and dislike, the tools you would like to see added, and so forth. Feedback can be sent via the form at the Plaza web page.

前２／３学期会上微观经济学 (11.203)，它是为刚接触都市计划并且没有太多经济学基础的学生所设计的课程。刚进来的学生在学期开始被要求参加经济学的测验，若无法通过此测验的学生，则要修习这门课程。

后１／３学期会上规划经济学(11.202)，其内容涵盖了都市规划学生特别关注的几个经济议题：像是区位理论、外部性与土地使用分区的交互作用、国际贸易及全球化和住宅财政政策等。这些只有少数的刚入学的学生以前曾经接触过的主题。

为减少课程上的冲突，所以我们把结合规划及经济学的内容放最后１／３学期来上；即使是通过个经考试的学生亦被要求要上这个部分的课程。

Microeconomics (11.203) is a course that runs for the first two-thirds of the semester. It is designed for incoming city planning students with little or no economics background. Incoming students take a voluntary microeconomics test-out at the beginning of the semester. Those that pass the test-out are exempt from taking Microeconomics.

Planning Economics (11.202) is a course that runs for one-third of a semester and covers economics topics of particular interest to city planning students: location theory, the interplay between externalities and zoning, international trade and globalization, and housing finance. Few incoming students have had prior exposure to these topics.

To minimize disruption, Planning Economics is positioned as the last third of a semester long core course on Planning Institutions and Economics. All students are required to take this final segment of the semester, including students who have tested out of microeconomics.
