| Course ID: | ECON 8000. 3 hours. |
| Course Title: | Mathematical Analysis for Economists |
Course
Description: | Mathematical methods and economic applications of selected topics in optimization theory, including comparative statistics analysis, duality and envelope results, inequality constraints and Kuhn-Tucker theory. |
| Oasis Title: | MATH FOR ECON |
Semester Course
Offered: | Offered every year. |
| Grading System: | A-F (Traditional) |
|
| Course Objectives: | Students will develop a thorough understanding of, and an ability to use, a set of
basic mathematical techniques. These techniques are the standard tools of micro- and
macro-economic theory, which in turn are the foundations of empirical economic
analysis. |
| Topical Outline: | Static Analysis
Comparative Static Analysis
Introductory Material on Optimization
Unconstrained Optimization
Equality-constrained Optimization
Inequality-constrained Optimization
Dynamic Analysis |
