Required
Textbook
| Andreu Mas-Colell, Michael Whinston and Jerry Green
(1995), Microeconomic Theory, Oxford University Press.
(abbreviated MC)
As the course progresses, I
will add dates to the MC table of contents by which I expect to cover
the material in class. Assigned topics that will not be covered in
class appear in Italic type: you are required to learn that material
directly from the book. |

Course
Structure
|
I plan to rely on my
lecture notes (abbreviated MM) for the structure of the course. I will
distribute the notes in class and project them on the screen. They
will also become available on the web at
http://www.bu.edu/econ/faculty/manove/EC701/
["EC" must be capitalized].
My notes will follow the
general outline of the MC textbook, which is
highly inclusive and forms an excellent reference book. I suggest
that you read the MC book to fill in gaps in the lectures and to help
you with material you do not understand. You will also have some
assignments from MC that will not be covered in lecture but may
be included in the exams. Such assignments will be clearly marked.
Problem sets
will be assigned each week. Students are required to attend
all regular classes and one discussion section.
