ECOS3901: Advanced Microeconomics Honours
ECOS3901 Advanced Microeconomics Hons is the second unit of study in the microeconomics sequence in the Advanced Economics Program. The unit develops understanding of modern applications of game theory. ECOS3901 builds on ECOS2901 and ECOS2903 and develops tools to solve static and dynamic games of incomplete information. The unit focuses on theory and applications of mechanism design to allocate scarce resources and create successful marketplaces. Applications include matching markets (student assignment, college admissions, organ exchange), bargaining/mediation, and many types of auctions, including simple auctions, online/keyword/financial auctions, and multi-item combinatorial auctions.
