The course examines the organization of markets from a microeconomic perspective, the principles of microeconomic policy, and the role of government in allocating scarce resources. The topics include: perfect competition, pricing in the presence of market power, monopolistic competition, oligopoly, game theory and factor markets, general equilibrium and efficiency, markets with asymmetric information, externalities, and public goods.

Prerequisites: Multivariable calculus; Microeconomics-1, including: consumer behaviour, intertemporal choice, uncertainty, production, perfectly competitive markets.
