Description
Intermediate Microeconomic Theory II is typically the second or third upper-division course the students pursuing a degree in Economics at UCSB must complete. It builds directly from Econ 10A and introduces students to imperfectly competitive product markets, input markets, and welfare analysis. The course also provides students with an introduction to game theory. Topics typically covered in the course include monopolies, general equilibrium, oligopolies and Nash equilibrium, and externalities. I have been fortunate enough to be a part of the Econ 100B team during session B of Summer 2016. As a TA for Econ 100B, I was responsible for writing exams, holding office hours, and teaching two 1.5-hour long sections each week.
