Students who have passed ECON 306: Intermediate Microeconomics should be well prepared for this course. As with ECON 306, you should have passed one semester of differential calculus. You will be expected to use it.

This course will introduce students to the nature of the firm, why they exist, and how they are structured (their "organizational architecture"). Students will learn introductory game theory and its applications. Students will be introduced to the economics of information and incentive analysis, including applied topics such as management compensation, effort pay, and tournament competition. We will also discuss problems surrounding incentive design.
