DESCRIPTION
This course considers rational consumers and producers, that maximize under some conditions their utility and profits, respectively. This paradigm is used to derive supply and demand curves, which are used to analyse market equilibrium. Within different market structures (competition, monopoly, oligopoly) the price setting in equilibrium is studied. Also settings are considered where markets fails. In addition, attention is devoted to uncertainty, auctions, market power and the role of the government.
