    Information

    Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

    The objective of this course is to introduce the student to the main tools and ideas in Microeconomics. The course will consist of theory sections (lecture form) and an exercise class (Übung). All materials will be available in the main course, but it is strongly recommend that every student who partakes in KU Applied Microeconomics get access to the Moodle of the UE Applied Microeconomics to have access to these tutorials (even if the course is not taken for credit).

    Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

    In order to obtain a grade for the course, the student must participate in the first unit. In case of illness, please provide a written certificate before the class. For those students on the waiting list, please wait until spaces open due to de-registration. Once a slot is provided, participation in the next unit is necessary.
    There will be an exam worth 60%. In addition, there will be homework assignments, worth 40%.

    The date for the exam
    Monday 30.06. 16:45 - 18:15 Hörsaal 4 Oskar-Morgenstern-Platz 1 Erdgeschoß

    The use of AI tools to complete homework assignments is explicitly forbidden. If upon grading the assignment, the lecturer believes the use of such a device is likely, the grade would be suspended and the student will be requested to show their work in a one-on-one meeting. If the student cannot show that the work was originally theirs, the student will receive 0% in the assignment.

    It is allowed to solve the assignment in groups. However, every student has to submit their own assignment and should be able to present and explain the solutions on the blackboard (if a correct solution was submitted).

    Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

    The grading for the exam and assignments will be as follows.
    >85%, 1
    70-85%, 2
    60-70%, 3
    50-60%, 4
    less than 50%, 5.

    Literatur

    The best book to follow the course is Kandori's "Mighty Microeconomics".
    In addition, the following books may help with specific issues.
    1. Resources to understand key concepts:
    Varian's 'Intermediate Microeconomics' provides a comprehensive and easily accessible introduction to the main concepts of the course, while his (Varian's) Microeconomic Analysis provides a deeper level coverage of the same topics. The level of the course will lie somewhat in between these two books.
    Ariel Rubinstein's book is available online and is at a similar level as Varian's Microeconomic Theory (you can download it here https://www.openbookpublishers.com/product/1171)

    2. Questions-Based Books:
    Pancs' "Lectures in Microeconomics" is more advanced and has a more modern focus. We will follow the "questions approach" in this book but at a lower level of sophistication.

    3. Game Theory: Basic knowledge of game theory is required. For a refresher, consider "A primer in game theory" by Gibbons.
