Course Content

Microeconomics II: Strategic Thinking and Applications introduces students to strategic decision-making in economic and business contexts. Building on the foundations of Microeconomics I, the course applies concepts from game theory, industrial organization, and behavioral economics to understand how individuals and firms interact when their actions affect one another. Topics include sequential and repeated games, competition and market structure, behavioral and personal economics, and market failures. Through interactive examples and applied cases, students learn to analyze strategic situations, predict outcomes, and design effective incentives in both market and organizational settings. The course combines analytical rigor with real-world relevance.
