教務系統課程大綱

一、課程目標Course objectives:
This course focus on some selective topics on microeconomics intended for third-year students and above. Building upon the concepts introduced in the intermediary microeconomics, we will discuss some standard topics at an advanced level. More specifically, throughout this course we will examine the following topics: mathematical methods for optimization, consumers’ optimization problem, producers’ optimization problem, game theory and its applications.
