Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Aims: The course provides master students with the basic tools of microeconomic analysis. Upon successful completion students are able to work with the basic models of market competition, price determination, and welfare analysis. In simple theoretical examples, they are able to compute market equilibria and perform comparative statics. They are able to make a qualitative assessment of how different political interventions or parameter changes affect market welfare. In examples and real-world applications students identify the main features of the market at hand and the presence and nature of market failures. They can assess the consequences for equilibrium outcomes and welfare properties in markets with strong externalities, when some agents have market power, or missing information. Last but not least, students are also able to convincingly discuss about these issues in form of a report or essay addressed to the general reader or interested party.Method: The news forum of the Moodle course provides regular information on the current learning goals and the development of the course. All materials, such as commented beamer presentations, solved problems, or online tests, are made available on the platform. If the situation with the pandemic allows, an in-depth discussion of the contents will be carried out in the lecture room. This can be alternatively carried out using learning videos, or interactive video conference tools.
Assessment and permitted materials
The final grade will be based on homework in the form of online tests and Moodle activities, which will be discussed in an interview in the second half of the semester (30%), a peer-reviewed essay complemented with a short video and the anonymous evaluation of thee peer essays (30%), as well as on a compulsory final exam that will take place at the end of January (40%). Results can be improved before the end of the semester in an optional make-up exam at the end of February.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
For a minimum passing grade students have to pass the final exam and attain at least 50% of total points.
Examination topics
All contents and material presented in class and made available in the course platform.
