Course Content (Syllabus)
This course is a continuation of "Microeconomics I" and for this reason we start from the
monopoly model dealing with resource allocation, price discrimination and welfare loss due to the monopoly. We will focus on oligopoly theory, especially on basic game theoretical models of pricing (Cournot, Bertrand, Stackelberg, Hotelling). Then we will deal with capital and labor markets, monopsony and bilateral monopoly. Especially in the capital markets will study the problem of intertemporal optimal consumption and investment.
