The theoretical parts will use standard maximization toolkit used in intermediate microeconomics (e.g. JEB104/108). Knowing such toolkit is prerequisite for this course. The relevant textbook is Varian or Nicholson-Snyder. Understanding of empirical methods (econometrics), basic macroeconomics and game theory, while not essential, will be a plus. |
