Inhalt

Economic decisions are often affected by imperfect or asymmetric information. For example, potential buyers of a second-hand good have only limited information about the good’s quality; car insurance companies cannot observe the driving style of insured individuals; employers need to estimate an applicant’s future performance on a job, and so on. This course provides a general theoretical analysis of economic transactions in which information plays a key role. Different applications will be considered:

1. Consumer search
• Monopoly price paradox
• Price distributions
• Bargaining

2. Asymmetric quality information
• Adverse selection
• Product warranties
• Moral hazard and reputation

3. Labor markets
• Efficiency wages and unemployment
• Job market signaling

4. Credit markets
