The course builds on the introductory microeconomics course (JEB003 or JEB101). It extends students' prior knowledge by introducing new concepts while applying standard analytic methods. It focuses on consumer behavior theory, including special topics on consumer preferences, optimal choice, consumer demand, revealed preferences, the measurement of welfare changes, intertemporal choice, and choice under uncertainty.
