Learning outcomes
The aim of this unit is to provide students with appropriate tools for understanding how firms and consumers take their decisions and how markets are organized, with particular emphasis on the concepts of optimization and equilibrium. Upon completing the course, the student must demonstrate to know the organization of the markets and the behavior of firms and consumers within such markets. The student will also be able to express judgments on the implications deriving from the economic agents’ choices and to compare the different market structures.

Production Theory:

Examination Methods
There will be an intermediate written exam (about halfway through the semester). This exam focuses on the topics covered up to that point. It consists of a test of multiple-choice questions (some of which will take the form of exercises).
The mid-term exam is optional. The score of the mid-term exam will count 50% of the final score. The aim of the intermediate exam is to encourage the students to a systematic study.
The final exam follows the same procedures as the intermediate exam: it consists of a test of multiple-choice questions.
In the intermediate exam, the multiple-choice questions will be graded as follows: +3 for each correct answer, −1/2 for each wrong answer, 0 for each question left unanswered.
In the final exam, they will be graded as follows: +2 for each correct answer, −1/3 for each wrong answer, 0 for each question left unanswered.
