NMAB20004U Microeconomics 2: Market Imperfections (MikØk2)
Bacheloruddannelsen i matematik-økonomi
This course treats non-cooperative game theory, auctions, externalities and public goods, as well as asymmetric information including adverse selection and moral hazard.
Knowledge: The course presents microeconomic theory of markets with imperfections. Non-cooperative game theory is introduced and applied to the analysis of imperfect markets. The course covers models exhibiting asymmetric information and externalities. The applications include auctions, bargaining, moral hazard, and public goods. Ideas from behavioural economics and knowledge of economic experiments are presented along with the more classical game theory.
Skills: Solving non-cooperative games, and models with imperfect markets. Deriving these models' predictions. Applying game-theoretic arguments. Solving models of auctions.
Competences: Applying game-theoretic analysis and economic arguments in the face of strategic decisions. Applying the models to predict behaviour and outcomes of strategic situations.
