Learning outcomes

After completing this course, students will have gained the analytical and methodological skills to understand and address more advanced microeconomic questions and problems. They will understand: 1) how different markets interact with each other in general equilibrium models; 2) the several ways in which the violation of the perfect market assumption (i.e., market failures) affects market outcomes; 3) how uncertainty plays into the model of economic behavior.
