The course provides an introduction into modern microeconomic theory. Students will be trained in applications of the standard microeconomic toolkit at an advanced level of mathematical and conceptual rigor.

The topics covered in this course are the axiomatic analysis of individual choice with and without uncertainty, and the computation of equilibria in closed economies. Special emphasis is given to situations of strategic interaction with incomplete and asymmetrically distributed information with applications to incentive and insurance theory, financial and labor contracting, and industrial economics.

Presentation and discussion.

Written exam (60 minutes).

References to the different topics are typically provided for in Jehle, Geoffrey A., and Philip J. Reny (2011): Advanced Microeconomic Theory, 3rd edition. London: FT Prentice Hall. Further readers and references will be provided throughout the course.
