It introduces students to key concepts and analytical techniques in modern microeconomic theory. The first part of the course examines the demand side of the market: consumers' preferences, individual and market demand. The second part examines the supply side: cost functions, output decisions, and technology adoption. The last part examines welfare and government intervention in perfectly competitive and monopolistic markets.
