Course Objective

The objective of this course is unterstand and analyze the premises of the basic theories of micro economy with the help of mathematics and game theory approaches and test the specification problems of the decision making units with non-standard methods.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To be able to analyze the dynamics of the creation of individuals and social welfare with the help of instruments produced by economic theories and probability distribution theories.
2   To be able to explain the deterministic and stochastic contents of the economic facts depending on prof rules.
3   To be able to analyze the problems of data definition belonging to the units of micro decision making.
4   To be able to analyze the effects of the expectations on the behaviours of the other decision making units in parallel with the last developments in global scale.
5   To be able to solve the theory of social choice by the approaches of behavioural economy.
6   To be able to make the dynamics of the creation of individual/social welfare by using the approaches of game theory and repeated games.
