Microeconomic theory provides a guide to rational decision making. Various decision rules are introduced to guide rational economic behavior. In this course, we develop those decision rules, apply those rules to a number of situations, and consider the economic efficiency and policy implications. Required Text: Intermediate Microeconomics by Hall Varian, 7th edition, W. W. Norton & Company, ISBN: 978-0-393-92702-3. Workouts in Intermediate Microeconomics by Hall Varian and Theodore Bergstrom. Examinations: There will be two mid-terms and a final examination (the final is not cumulative). On each exam you can get a maximum of 100 points. The dates for the mid- term examinations are • Wednesday, February 13; • Wednesday, March 19; All Midterm Examinations are during the regular class time in Campion 204. Note: You should consider these dates to be firm and put them in your schedule. If school happens to be canceled (e.g. snow day) on the day of a scheduled exam, the exam will be given the next class meeting. There are no make up exams. If there is an excused absence from a test, i.e. documentation from a dean, the following exam(s) will be weighted more heavily. The final examination is on Wednesday, May 7, at 12:30pm. Note: The date and time for the final is set by the University and cannot be changed. Problem Sets: Several problem sets will be made available during the semester. These are optional, but I strongly encourage you to complete them so that you will be familiar with the types of problems that will appear on the exams. Working together on problem sets can be very helpful. If you turn in answers by a specified date, they will be “graded,” but the grades will not be factored into your course average. However, high quality work on the problem sets will provide support for boosting a borderline grade to the higher level.
