ECON 475
Advanced Economic Theory Spring 2024
Division II Quantitative/Formal Reasoning

Class Details

This course studies advanced topics in micro and macro economic theory. A major focus is on the mathematical underpinnings of advanced modern economics, with a particular emphasis on proofs. Topics may include existence of Nash equilibria, games of incomplete information, equilibrium refinement and selection, global games, Bayesian persuasion, Mirrless taxation, dynamic programming, existence of general equilibrium, recursive equilibria, stochastic models in continuous time, and others. The focus of this class is primarily on mathematical formalism, rigor, and proofs. These tools are essential components of any graduate program in economics. Students who wish to see pure math theorems applied to other fields may also be interested.
