I. Market fundamentals
	The characteristics of a market equilibrium Price ceilings
	Per unit taxes:
		Price and output effects Welfare effects Tax incidence
	Elasticity of demand along a linear demand curve
II. Consumer theory A. The rational consumer
	1. Consumer constraints and the budget line:
		Geometry of the consumption set Basic geometry of the budget line Budget line examples Budget lines: a useful special case (where Y=Ig, income spent on goods other than X) Budget line applications
	2. Consumer preferences and indifference curves:
		Basic characteristics of utility Basic geometry of indifference curves Indifference curve examples Properties of indifference curves
	3. Geometry of the consumer's optimum
B. Extensions and applications of consumer theory
	1. Changing price and income constraints:
		The income-consumption curve (ICC) and Engel curves: basic geometry ICC and Engel curve examples The price-consumption curve (PCC) and individual demand curve
	2. Substitution and income effects:
		Basic geometry of substitution and income effects Substitution and income effects: alternative possibilities (including Giffen goods) Cross-price elasticities of demand in theory and practice
	3. Measuring changes in consumer welfare
	4. Applications of consumer theory
		Price policies versus income policies Tax plus rebate policies Applying consumer surplus Price changes from an initial endowment position
