Microeconomics

The course objective is twofold. First, it aims to introduce students to the advanced tools of microeconomics, with a
specific attention to game theory. Furthermore, it aims to show how to apply these tools to the analysis of market structures, under several strategic and/or informative environments.

The course introduces the main elements of non-cooperative game theory in a setting of (in)complete information (both static and dynamic games). The game theoretical tools are then used to discuss the main models of industrial economics (oligopoly, collusion and product differentiation).

  • Static games
  • Static models of oligopoly
  • Dynamic games
  • Dynamic models of oligopoly
  • Repeated games
  • Collusion
  • Horizontal and vertical product differentiation
  • Bayesian Games

Microeconomics M
The course is not suitable for undergraduate students enrolled in the Erasmus Program.

The following teaching methods are adopted:
30 hours of frontal lessons
12 hours of interactive lessons
Part of these lessons (no more than 15% of the total hours) are carried out remotely depending on the
lesson timetable for the academic year. 2024-2025
The course will be done in English.

The exam is written and it aims at verifying (i) knowledge of the material (proofs and theoretical models); (ii) analytical ability to apply the material (exercises); (iii) economic intuition and ability to use models to comment on economics cases. Students will be allowed to give an oral presentation of a team work at the end of the course.
The performance of the presentation will contribute to the final mark. The team work is not compulsory.
