Economics 704 is the second half of the Economics Department’s two-semester sequence in Advanced Microeconomics, intended for second-year Ph.D. students. (Economics 703, the first half of the sequence, is taught by Professor Peter Cramton in the fall semester.) In Spring 2007, the course will focus on auction theory, matching theory, and the relationship between auction theory and matching theory. Other topics that are treated in some years include: sequential bargaining under incomplete information; and equilibrium refinements.
