Presents the fundamental analytical tools of economics, constructing a rigorous mathematical model of the economic behaviour of consumers, producers, and their interaction.
ECON321 deals with two major areas of information economics. The uncertainty component of the course deals with broadening microeconomic theoretical framework to include economic situations of imperfect information and ultimately providing the tool of expected utility for economic analysis. The asymmetric information component of the course takes the information problem one step further and introduces heterogeneity of information among agents. In addressing these two areas of information economics, the course will also illustrate the role of mathematics, including probability and mathematical statistics, in expressing economic concepts.
