This course booklet, entitled “Lectures in Introduction to Economics”, is designed for first-year undergraduate students in the common core programme. It aims to provide a conceptual and methodological framework for understanding the fundamental concepts and principles of economics, as a social science concerned with the allocation of scarce economic resources to satisfy diverse and ever-evolving human needs. It also seeks to equip students with the ability to understand economic phenomena and analyse the relationships between various economic variables, thereby helping them comprehend how the economy operates at both the microeconomic and macroeconomic levels. The booklet adopts a gradual and systematic approach to presenting economic concepts, using examples and practical applications to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and economic reality. This approach is intended to strengthen students’ ability to interpret economic phenomena and understand their implications for individuals, businesses, and the national economy. Accordingly, this booklet serves as an introductory educational reference aimed at establishing a sound knowledge base in economics and developing students’ economic reasoning and analytical skills. It also enables them to apply the concepts and principles acquired to the study of economic problems and to making appropriate decisions in various academic and professional contexts.
