Course syllabus
Welcome to "Microeconomics course" at Dalarna University
Learning Outcomes
The students will after successful completion of the course:
- demonstrate good insight in different optimization methods such as profit maximization and cost minimization,
- be able to use the Lagrange method and interpret concepts such as duality and the envelope theorem.
- be able to use different functions, such as the indirect utility function, the expenditure function and the cost function.
know how to analyse situations and changes in an imperfect market

Course Content
The purpose of the course is to present analytical models and methods within microeconomic theory. The course can be seen as a continuation of the microeconomic courses presented at a previous level. However an important difference to the earlier course is the use of more formal analytical methods.
We hope you engage in inspiring, interesting, and challenging discussions with your teachers and fellow students. As with all courses at Dalarna University, this course has a strong foundation in theory and research.
