Sommersemester 2006 - Abteilung Volkswirtschaftslehre der ...

Course description: The goal is to derive efficient rules of resource
allocation and to show how a system of prices can achieve optimal resource
allocation (general equilibrium analysis). Then cases of market failures are
considered like negative externalities, public goods and imperfect
information. Special attention will be given to markets under asymmetric
information (used car market), market signalling (education, quality),
principal agent models, moral hazard and adverse selection problems, and
to the insurance market. The course deals with product differentiation
(horizontal and vertical differentiation) and finally with pricing with market
power (price discrimination, peak-load pricing, two-part tariffs, bundling).
