Microeconomics takes as its starting point the individual consumer and the individual company to explain how an advanced market economy, such as the Norwegian one, works. Knowledge of microeconomic theory is essential to be able to analyze questions about regulation of markets, design of the tax system, the necessity of public measures, the importance of uncertainty for decisions etc.

In the first part of the course, we go through theory for consumers' choice of work, leisure, savings and consumption composition. We also look at how uncertainty affects these choices. Furthermore, we take up the theory of companies' behavior. Here, the focus is on the companies' choice of input factors, production volume and price. Finally, the theories for consumer and business adaptation are combined into a theory of markets. Here, we study the market forms of perfect competition and monopolistic competition.

In the second part of the course, we analyze public goods, the need to collect taxes as well as the socio-economic costs of collecting taxes. We also study positive and negative externalities, and briefly go into how the authorities can correct for these in order to improve the functioning of the market. We also look at economies of scale that give rise to falling average costs, and how so-called natural monopolies can be regulated.

In the last part of the course, we apply the theory to cost-benefit analysis. We go through the principles of benefit-cost-benefit analysis, and the students themselves then carry out a complete analysis of a public initiative.

Language of instruction is English.

Gradert skala A-F.

An internal and an external examiner will grade the exam. A selection of at least 25% of the exam papers will be assessed by two examiners. The grades awarded to exam papers assessed by the external and internal examiner will be used to determine the level of all exam papers.

Det benyttes en intern og en ekstern sensor til sensurering av besvarelsene.

Et uttrekk på minst 25 % av besvarelsene sensureres av to sensorer. Karakterene på de besvarelsene som er vurdert skal danne grunnlag for å fastsette nivå på resten av besvarelsene.

Ekstern sensor vil delta i utformingen av eksamensoppgaven.

The course forms a theoretical and practical basis for being able to assess choices and perform molecular analyses of genetic changes in cancer cells, both in diagnostics and research. This comprises advanced immunological, biochemical, cell and molecular biology methods. A selection of these methods are used in the practical work.
