Notes on Microeconomic Theory
The following notes are meant to accompany API 109i and API 111 / Econ 2020a / HBS 4401. They provide commentary on the text and contain most of what I cover in lecture. However, they are not meant as substitutes for the text or lectures, which are the ultimate guide to the material in the course.
The notes are meant to accompany, not replace, the recommended texts for the course. The recommended texts are:
Mas-Colell, Whinston, and Green, Microeconomic Theory, Oxford University Press (1995).
