北京大學(xué)經(jīng)濟學(xué)院微觀經(jīng)濟學(xué)暑期課程(Microeconomics)由張元鵬授課。通過對個體經(jīng)濟單位的經(jīng)濟行為的分析，說明現(xiàn)代西方經(jīng)濟社會市場機制的運行和作用，以及改善這種運行的途徑。
　　北京大學(xué)微觀經(jīng)濟學(xué)在職研究生課程主要內(nèi)容包括：(1)微觀經(jīng)濟學(xué)的前提及概述；(2)均衡價格的決定；(3)消費者行為；(4)生產(chǎn)者行為；(5)完全競爭市場；(6)不完全競爭市場；(7) 生產(chǎn)要素價格的決定；(8)一般均衡和福利經(jīng)濟學(xué)；(9)市場失靈和微觀經(jīng)濟政策。
　　經(jīng)濟學(xué)院微觀經(jīng)濟學(xué)暑期課程：
　　《微觀經(jīng)濟學(xué)》是我國教育部高等教育面向21世紀(jì)教學(xué)內(nèi)容和課程體系改革計劃的必修課程之一，它不僅被列為高等學(xué)校經(jīng)濟類8門核心課程之中，而且是工商管理類各專業(yè)9門核心課程之一。對于那些想學(xué)好經(jīng)濟學(xué)理論及相關(guān)知識體系的學(xué)生來說，能否學(xué)好《微觀經(jīng)濟學(xué)》直接影響學(xué)生對其他經(jīng)濟學(xué)在職研究生課程的理解和掌握。
　　作為經(jīng)濟學(xué)基礎(chǔ)課程，它是在學(xué)生前期研修完《經(jīng)濟學(xué)原理》的基礎(chǔ)上對有關(guān)微觀經(jīng)濟主體（如企業(yè)和消費者等）的經(jīng)濟行為和各類市場的均衡實現(xiàn)情況作進一步分析，以此來研究市場經(jīng)濟的運行規(guī)律和相應(yīng)的微觀經(jīng)濟政策。
　　《微觀經(jīng)濟學(xué)》理論的核心問題是價格理論，它是以均衡和最優(yōu)化為討論線索來展開分析的。在介紹了供求、彈性等基本概念之后，主要討論了消費者最優(yōu)理論，生產(chǎn)者最優(yōu)理論，商品市場最優(yōu)理論，要素市場最優(yōu)理論和帕累托最優(yōu)理論，最終得出完全經(jīng)濟競爭的市場是有效的，以證明“看不見的手”的作用。然后結(jié)合經(jīng)濟現(xiàn)實，討論市場失靈，并提出微觀經(jīng)濟政策以消除或抑制市場失靈的影響。
　　作為經(jīng)濟學(xué)知識體系中的基礎(chǔ)課程，學(xué)生在學(xué)習(xí)完了本課程以后，可以能夠準(zhǔn)確地掌握微觀經(jīng)濟學(xué)的基本概念和基本原理，并對經(jīng)濟模型的基本假設(shè)和建模的技術(shù)手段能有透徹的了解。在此基礎(chǔ)上學(xué)會運用微觀經(jīng)濟學(xué)的基本理論和分析方法來解釋現(xiàn)實的經(jīng)濟問題并提出解決方案。
