Skrócony opis:

The course introduces students to important topics in advanced microeconomics. The course has two concurrent parts: Game Theory and General Equilibrium. The former discussess game theory and its applications, while the latter introduces production and consumption theory concepts in order to provide a coherent picture for the general equilibrium framework.

Completing the course requires passing the mid-term and final exam, respective to both parts of the course (4 exams in total).

Metody i kryteria oceniania:

• Completing Advanced Microeconomics requires completing the two separate parts:

o Game Theory –prof. Tomasz Żylicz

o General Equilibrium Theory– dr Jan Hagemejer

• In order to complete each of the parts students need to:

o Collect at least 50% combined points from the two following components:

 midterm exam (weighted 50%);

 final exam (50%).

• The final grade will be average of the grades from the two separate parts (rounded up), with the restriction of both of them being at least 3 (otherwise the final grade becomes 2).

• All exams are to be taken by all students at the same time (only one date for everyone).

• There will be only one possibility to retake any of the failed exams for all students at the same time.

• Absence from any of the exams is equivalent to failing it.

• There will be no other possibilities of completing the course.

• ‘0 tolerance for cheating’.
