The program revises initially consumer's theory from preferences to utility to derive optimal demand under budget constraints, then presents firms optimizing behaviour subjected to technological costraints and its supply. Discusses market demand-supply interactions and the concept of equilibrium. Introduces the different market structures: perfet competition, monopoly and different types of oligopoly, to conclude with an overview of main market failures: the problems arising with imperfect information, public goods and externalities.
