Overview of class

The topics covered in this course will include Pareto efficiency, social choice, risk and uncertainty, asymmetric information, game theory (including Cournot and Bertrand competition), externalities, and general equilibrium. As part of the game-theory portion of the course, we will focus on the second-price auction, as well as the more general Vickrey-Clarke-Groves mechanism. The broad goal will be to develop tools and criteria for evaluating and predicting economic outcomes. Asynchronous components: This class will be synchronous, with non-live viewing of lectures handled on a case-by-case basis. Students located in United States/Americas will be required to attend live, without exception. Also, there will be a strong groupwork component to this course, which will require coordinating time to work with other students.
