Prerequisites: ECO101, ECO102
Intermediate Microeconomics
(ECO201) focuses on the study of
consumer and producer decisions and
interactions. It also introduces the
students to decision-making under
uncertainty and basic portfolio
theory, market equilibrium and
general equilibrium of the economy,
monopolistic and oligopolistic competition
among firms and other forms of strategic
interaction studied in Game Theory.
Additional issues are reviewed, including
conditions for market efficiency, public
goods, the effect of strategically used
private information, market failures and
their remedies, etc.

Introduction to Econometrics (ECO203)
introduces the most common ways to
study and analyze economic data, with
a focus on emphasizing data analysis for
empirical causal inference. Topics include
randomized trials, regression, instrumental
variables, differences-in-differences,
and regression discontinuity designs.
Students also learn how to study datasets
through practical examples.

This course introduces to basic issues
regarding the financial system, i.e. markets
and institutions intermediating
saving and investment. After an informal
description of the financial system, it
starts with basic asset pricing, continues
with corporate finance theory (Modigliani-
Miller theorem and its deviations),
then turns to the study of banking, insurance
and financial markets. Whenever
possible, it connects theory with contemporary
issues.

This topics course is based on teamwork
in which students work in groups of
four or five to further explore economics
issues. In particular, students discuss
current events, create and test economic
models, while developing and analyzing
computer simulations.




The Economics Workshop (ECO 205) is based on teamwork in which students work in groups of four or five to further explore economics issues. In particular, students discuss current events, create and test economic models, while developing and analyzing computer simulations.
