Intermediate Microeconomics

We start with the beloved supply and demand diagram and we delve into the individual decisions that create those curves. Then we explore different market structures and their consequences, discuss externality problems, and develop a framework for understanding choices under uncertainty. Throughout the course we use MobLab (a cloud-based experiment platform) to test the models we're developing.
