This unit presumes no prior exposure to economics and aims to bring a proficiency equivalent to that of students with an intermediate-level microeconomics unit in an Honours degree program. Microeconomics studies how individual consumers and firms make choices and how they interact in a variety of market environments. This unit presents a foundational model of microeconomics that serves as the basis for more advanced topics, such as game theory, mechanism design, and behavioural economics.
