Economics 100C: Topics in Microeconomic Theory

Prof. Peter Kuhn, NH 3036

Economics 100C covers topics in micro theory, focusing on the economics of information. The course is aimed at students with a serious interest in economics (as distinct from business), and especially to students with an interest in graduate study in this field. Much of the material is drawn from the pathbreaking work of George Akerlof, Michael Spence, and Joseph Stiglitz, which was awarded the 2001 Nobel Prize in Economics.
