Topic: Resource Markets

The most exciting part about Microeconomics is the application, not just what you read in a textbook.

Choose any podcast related to this module's microeconomics topic, then choose a specific current episode of that podcast. Your reference will be the name of, and link to, your chosen podcast. As you listen to your chosen podcast, pay particular attention to any discussion relating to Resource Markets.

After listening to the podcast, answer the following questions:

• What important new knowledge did you learn?
• How did this new knowledge relate to microeconomic theories explored in this module, such as resource markets?
• What experiences do you have with the topic(s) covered in the podcast?

Examples of acceptable economic oriented podcasts include:

• EconTalk;
• Freakonomics;
• CATO Daily Podcast;
• The Sound of Economics;
• NPR's Marketplace series (some daily and some weekly);
• NPR's Planet Money;
• Weekly Economics Podcast; and
• Bloomberg's Stephanomics to name just a few.

If you are unfamiliar with podcasts, search for economic podcasts, using any of the above options, or just search for economics podcasts. It is also acceptable to use TED talks that center on economic issues.

Please remember that, in the discussion, it is important that you add your personal comments, in addition to summarizing the podcast you chose. It is not enough to say what you heard
