Innledning

The course is an intermediate course in Microeconomics built on the introductory course in Microeconomics I. The course takes an analytical approach to study microeconomics. It intends to develop rigorous, logical reasoning to understand economic concepts. While a majority of the economic theories are treated verbally and graphically, simple models based on elementary calculus are also introduced to examine certain economic issues in detail.
