Course Syllabus
Abstract
Microeconomics-1 is a two-semester course for second year students. The first part covers all topics of the syllabus and the second part is devoted to supporting lectures. In the course of Microeconomics-1 students are expected to deepen their understanding of basic concepts, add further tools of analysis and develop their skills in applying theory to economic problems. Intermediate Microeconomics is a core discipline under world standards. It forms the basis of further economic studies in applied disciplines such as: industrial organisation, public sector economics, labour economics, international economics, corporate finance, development economics, etc. The course is taught in English. The students are also studying for a Russian degree in Economics, and knowing Russian terminology through reading in Russian is also required. Pre-requisites: Students are supposed to be competent in basic economic analysis and calculus. The course itself provides a basis (and so serves as a prerequisite) for Microeconomics 2.
