Books

I very strongly recommend Kreps' new book:

David Kreps:  Microeconomic Foundations I: Choice and Competitive Markets, Princeton University Press, 2013.

Secondary recommendation: Andreu Mas-Colell, Michael D. Whinston, Jerry R. Green:  Microeconomic Theory, Oxford University Press, 1995.

Course Material All material for the course will be posted on the web.

Downloading lecture notes and problems sets requires a "user name" and a password which will be given to students in the class and should not be transferred to other students!!

Plan of the course  

In most of the course (about 80%) we study models of rational economic agent.  In the rest of the course we will discuss the notion of competitive equilibrium. Here is the plan:
