Outline and objectives

This course provides intermediate level microeconomic theory, especially price theory that analyzes resource allocations through a price in a competitive market.

Goal

By the end of the course, students are expected to:
A) understand the concepts of microeconomics and become able to explain them;
B) become able to think the real-life economic phenomenon by using the idea of microeconomics;
C) become able to analyze simple microeconomic models.

The classes are planned to be provided as in-class lectures at the moment (mid of January). Class handouts will be available at Hoppii. Also, students will be assigned online assignments, which will be available at Hoppii. Feedback for the online assignments is also delivered through Hoppii.

Students' performance will be evaluated by the finial exam (80%) and online assignments (20%).
