This module covers advanced theoretical models that are in the frontier of modern microeconomic analysis. Using rigorous mathematical analysis, this module provides the student with frontier knowledge in contract design and game theory, as well as in different applications. The models seen in this module are applied in novel research in Microeconomics and are instrumental to obtaining public policy implications. The student can acquire this knowledge from the fields of economics of information, industrial organization, contracts, incentives and behaviour, corporate finance, health economics, development economics, microeconometrics, public economics,labor economics, asset pricing, political economics and experimental economics.
