ECON PhD course: Microeconomics

Aarhus BSS Graduate School at Aarhus University

We develop a coherent set of topics in advanced microeconomics while introducing students to the analytical principles that underpin modern microeconomic research. The course builds on individual and social choice theory, progressing through monotone comparative statics to equilibrium analysis in markets and strategic settings.

The material provides an excellent opportunity to learn many of the tools and techniques of modern economic theory. Equipped with this knowledge, students will find it easier to review the current literature on applied theoretical and empirical microeconomics. They will be able to approach research questions in areas where microeconomic reasoning is central, such as industrial organization, political economy, labor, finance, and public economics.
