Intermediate Microeconomics

The course gives you the tools of price theory and game theory, in order to understand how different markets work.

Price theory helps explain different consumer and producer behaviour, monopoly pricing and certain forms of market failure, while game theory focuses on strategic interaction.

This course replaces Intermediate Microeconomics with course code EC2101.
