초록

This paper focuses on general equilibrium theory in the undergraduate microeconomics course and derives some implications and suggestions by comparing and analyzing various textbooks. Most microeconomics textbooks introduce general equilibrium theory after the discussion of market organization. But in some textbooks, recently published ones in particular, general equilibrium theory appears as part of the perfectly competitive market. Noticing the significant difference between these two arrangements in several aspects, this paper highlights the merits and demerits of each method and discusses ways to make up for the potential weakness of each. This paper also argues that discussing pure exchange economy without any motivating examples or preliminary discussions may hamper students' understanding of the topic and presents some examples from some textbooks that may serve as a reference.
