EC-402 Mathematical Economics
This course introduces the mathematical basis of economic theory. Emphasis is placed on the mathematical tools that have been developed for various applications, with a focus on applied microeconomic analysis. The techniques of comparative-statics analysis are developed. Univariate and multivariate calculus are then presented in the context of unconstrained and constrained optimization. The course concludes by introducing the foundations of discrete-time and continuous-time dynamic optimization.
