• Buying and selling (Varian, Chapter 9).
• Intertemporal Choice (Varian, Chapter 10).
• Choice under uncertainty (Varian, Chapter 12).
• Consumer's Surplus (Varian, Chapter 14).
• Market demand and elasticity (Varian, Chapter 15).
• Equilibrium (Varian, Chapter 16).
Production Theory:
• Technology (Varian, Chapter 18).
• Profit maximization (Varian, Chapter 19).
• Cost minimization (Varian, Chapter 20).
• Cost Curves (Varian, Chapter 21).
Market structure:
• Perfect competition in the short and the long term (Varian, Chapters 22 and 23).

Examination Methods
There will be an intermediate written exam (about halfway through the semester) lasting 75 minutes. This exam focuses on the topics covered up to that point. It consists of a test of 16 multiple-choice questions (some of which will take the form of exercises).
The mid-term exam is optional. The score of the mid-term exam will count 50% of the final score. The aim of the intermediate exam is to encourage the students to a systematic study.
The final exam follows the same procedures as the intermediate exam: it consists of a test of 16 multiple-choice questions.
In both the intermediate and final exams, a wrong answer in the multiple-choice questions will have a negative score.
