MGMT 6270 - Microeconomic Theory for Management

This doctoral-level course introduces microeconomics to first-semester doctoral students in management. Rather than provide formal training for professional research economists, this course seeks to provide a theoretical introduction to microeconomic methods for academics and researchers in business, management, and finance. Topics covered in the course include consumer theory; theory of production, markets, and equilibrium; decision-making under uncertainty; theory of information; agency theory; and game theory.

Prerequisites/Corequisites: Enrollment in the doctoral program in management or economics at Rensselaer (or permission from the course instructor), calculus, and matrix mathematics.

When Offered: Fall term annually.



Credit Hours: 3
