| Description: | Analytic theory of consumer and producer behavior under perfect and imperfect competition. Coverage of demand theory (indifference curves and utility functions) and preferences under uncertainty, including expected utility and risk aversion. Development of general equilibrium under pure exchange, including the concepts of competitive equilibrium and Pareto efficiency. Discussion of the role of times as it pertains to interest rates, discounting and net present value. Analysis of standard monopoly and simple oligopoly problems. Development of non-cooperative game theory, including strategic and extensive-form equilibria and Nash and sub-game perfect equilibria. Thorough training in intermediate theory would require both Econ 4011 and Econ 4021. Prerequisites: Econ 1011, Math 131, Math 132, and concurrent enrollment in, or prior completion of, either Math 233 or Econ 493 ("Mathematical Economics"). Students should also select the "A" subsection. This sub-section is a help session, and attendance is not required. |

| Description: | This course is designed to provide the foundational tools and theory of microeconomic analysis, presented at a graduate level. In the first half of the course, we will begin with consumer theory including utility theory, consumer demand, properties of demand systems, income and substitution effects, etc. We will then cover producer theory including profit maximization, cost functions, supply curves, and derived factor demand. We will then combine consumer and producer theory in the context of competitive markets and monopoly. In the second half of the course, we will consider situations where strategic interactions are of central importance. Game theory is the primary tool that economists use for understanding strategic interactions. After covering the essentials of game theory, we will consider several applications of game theory in different economic settings. After covering a few more advanced topics in pricing, we will discuss decision-making under uncertainty. Finally, we will introduce general equilibrium theory. Prerequisite: Admission to the A.M. program in Economics or instructor permission. |

| Description: | The objective of this course is to develop the mathematical tools necessary for the study of intermediate micro- and macro-economic theory and the advanced electives in economics. The principal focus will be the calculus of multivariate functions (including total and partial differentiation), unconstrained and constrained optimization of multivariate functions, and implicit and inverse function rules. Time permitting, additional topics will be introduced. Economics majors and minors must take this course (or Math 233) prior to, or concurrently with, Econ 4011. Students who have taken, or are taking, Math 233 are encouraged to take this course as well.
Prerequisites: Econ 1011 and Econ 1021, and Math 132. Students cannot add/drop this course via WebStac after the first meeting. All requests for late add/drop must be directed to dottie@wustl.edu no later than NOON on Friday, August 30, 2024. |
