Advanced microeconomics

Milan

The course

Course and exercises to survive advanced micro on the infamous Mas-Colell, Winston and Greene advanced micro manual. Includes the recreation of all hi-res figures from the book and solutions to most exercises on MWG – a rare treat.

I was TA for Microeconomics at Economics and Political Studies in Milano – Statale with Prof. Franco Donzelli in 2010.

We used the (in)famous Mas-Colell, Whinston and Green, ‘Microeconomic Theory’ – and these are one of the few resources worldwide that provide accurate and complete solution to MWG’s problem sets.

All the lectures are made up of a problem set and its solution. The solution comes in two forms: slides and handout. The embedded graphics are mainly done in Inkscape and can be downloaded separately from the companion Plots and Graphs page. The .tex sources are available upon request. Just send me an email.

Lecture 1 – Preferences and W.A.R.P. – problem set – handout – slides

Lecture 2 – Budget set and demand I – problem set – handout – slides

Lecture 3 – Demand II, Cobb-Douglas – problem set – handout – slides

Lecture 4 – Duality – problem set – handout – slides

Lecture 5 – Production – problem set – handout – slides

Lecture 6 – Edgeworth box – problem set– handout – slides

Lecture 7 – Robinson Crusoe 1×1 economy – problem set – handout – slides

Images and plots

As part of the course, I also produced several hi-res images and plots related to Micro and reproducing MGW’s images – or more generally graphs needed to solve MWG’s exercises.
