Introductory Microeconomics An introduction to the analysis of such microeconomic problems as price formation (the forces behind demand and supply), market structures from competitive to oligopolistic, distribution of income, and public policy options bearing on these problems.

Economics of Agricultural Transition In 1860 farmers made up over half the population of this country and fed about 30 million people.  Today they number 2% of the population and produce more than enough to feed 300 million people.  In this course we will look at the history, causes, and results of this incredible transformation.  While studying the economic forces behind the changing farming structure, we will examine farm production, resources, technology, and agricultural policy.  Field trips to local farms and screenings of farm-related videos and movies will incorporate the viewpoint of those engaged in agriculture. (ECON 0150 or ECON 0155)  2hrs. lect., 2 hrs. lab

Pecsok is very engaging during his lectures and loves to make the class fun. But he often skips over important information very quickly. You also have a problem set due every week which are sometimes very confusing if the class is behind in the lectures, but he is super helpful during his office hours. 

This was a great course and my favorite one I've taken at Midd. The Weekly trips are amazing and he does a great job getting the class to know each other. The exams were light and the material is pretty basic but interesting. 

Pecsok is incredibly interested in the world of farming and all things agriculture. He is an amazing teacher in this class and is so understanding. Not only does he do well to make sure his students learn but he truly does listen to what the class has to say. The field trips were amazing. This might actually be the best class I have taken at midd.
