Learning objectives
The aim of this unit is to provide students with appropriate tools for understanding how firms and consumers take their decisions and how markets are organized, which are fundamental skills to understand and analyze global markets. Upon completing the course, the student must demonstrate to know the organization of markets and the behavior of firms and consumers within such markets. The course will provide an evidence-based approach to microeconomics, presenting empirical and experimental evidence for each topic covered. Classic microeconomic theory will be compared and integrated with novel approaches regarding behavior of individuals and firms with a particular focus on behavioral economics.
Prerequisites and basic notions
Good knowledge of basic math is required especially with respect to derivatives and integrals.

Learning assessment procedures
All exams will be in written form. There will be an intermediate exam.
Evaluation criteria
The intermediate exam and the final exam have the same structure. They are composed by a multiple-choice part and an exercise part. The final grade will be the average between the grades of the two parts. The whole exam lasts 90 minutes.
Multiple choice
- The test is composed of 15 questions, 8 theory questions and 7 short exercises.
- +2 points per correct answer, 0 points for each unanswered question or wrong answer.
- In this part, it is necessary to accumulate at least 16 points; if you do not reach 16 points in this part the exam is failed.
Exercise part
- This part is composed of one exercise which needs to be solved on a sheet which must be handed in. We will evaluate both the correctness of the response and how the exercise was solved.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
If you pass the intermediate exam with at least 18, the final exam will only be on thesecond part of the course contents. The final grade is the average between the intermediate and final exam. If you do not pass the intermediate exam, the final exam will be on the whole course contents.

PLEASE NOTE: In order to be admitted to any teaching activities, including those of your choice, you must be enrolled in the academic year in which the activities in question are offered. Students who are about to graduate in the December and April sessions are therefore advised NOT to undertake extracurricular activities in the new academic year in which they are not enrolled, as these graduation sessions are valid for students enrolled in the previous academic year. Therefore, students who undertake an activity in an academic year in which they are not enrolled will not be granted CFU credits.
