This course covers selected topics in microeconomic theory and its application. The primary objective of the course is to familiarize students with the microeconomic paradigm, and develop an appreciation of the usefulness (and limitations) of microeconomic analysis. A further goal of the course is to develop and exercise students' ability to use economic analysis in examining applied issues, and, more generally, to help students acquire formal modeling skills - the ability to reduce real-world problems to useful and mathematically tractable representations.
