課程概述

This is the first graduate core course for Microeconomic Theory. The first half of the course covers Optimization, Consumer Decision and Uncertainty. The second half of the course covers Basic Game Theory. While learning formal models and mathematical techniques, this course also help you understand how to think like an economists.

For the first half of the course, please refer to the instructor's course website:
http://homepage.ntu.edu.tw/~josephw/essential_micro_theory_13F.htm 

課程目標
 1. Grasp the basic tools of microeconomic theory.
2. Develop the ability to understand modern economic theory.
3. Think like an economist. 
課程要求
 This is a graduate core course of Microeconomic Theory, so you are assumed to know everything about intermediate microeconomics. In addition, this course employs mathematical reasoning, so you should know at least Calculus A(I, II), if not Advanced Calculus (I) (aka undergraduate real analysis).

Part I requirement: This half is taught solely in English, and you have to finish all assignments in English. Professor Wang pre-commits NOT to understand Chinese either in class or when grading.
