Description
The first part of the course deals with individual decision making, covering fundamental topics such as utility maximization, expenditure minimization, duality, welfare changes, and decision making under uncertainty.
The second part of the course builds on the first by exploring economic environments with asymmetric information (asymmetric information, signalling and screening), as well as other topics in contract theory such as principal-agent problems.
