Microeconomic Theory

Education facts

Code: NEK203

The intermediate courses can be applied for in packages of 30 credits or each course separately if you are only taking a single course. Micro theory, 7.5 hp (NEK203)<br> In this course you will deepen your knowledge of microeconomics and learn more about the theory of consumer and business decision-making. Individual markets are then linked together in the theory of general equilibrium, which is how we can look at the economy as a whole. Deviations from the perfect competition model in the form of, for example, competitive constraints and externalities are studied. The theories are formulated in mathematical form to a greater extent than in the basic course. A course in microeconomics is a good gateway to more specialised courses, such as financial economics, development economics or environmental economics, which in turn can lead to essay writing using theories and statistical methods.
