Applied Microeconomics II: General Equilibrium

Course Description

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

This is a semester-long course on general equilibrium theory and its applications, in- tended for doctoral students who plan to conduct research using the tools of microe- conomics and general equilibrium. The objectives of this course are three-fold: (i) to provide students with a systematic grounding in the fundamentals of general equilibrium modeling, (ii) to prepare students to use these tools in their own research, and (iii) to expose students to a broad (though necessarily selective) array of topical areas in which general equilibrium modeling is at the research frontier.

Enrollment Priority Primarily for: doctoral students in the Dyson graduate PhD program. Qualified master's students in the Dyson graduate program, or doctoral students in other related disciplines are welcome to attend the course with instructor's permission.
