GRA6626 Descisions, Strategy and Information by Ingrid Hjort

Any comments, questions or thoughts during the lecture? Write them here!

ingridchjort — 2021-08-20 15:23:17 UTC

Hi, this padlet is our common blackboard where we can chat, discuss and ask each other questions both during lecture and afterwards. If you not log in you will be anonymous, which is perfectly fine!

Micro theory

ingridchjort — 2021-08-23 14:48:48 UTC

In a graduate course we often teach the same topic as in an undergraduate course, but we will go more into the details this time and expect deeper understanding of the concepts and theory. Was the topics of today's lecture familiar?

If yes, give me a thumb up
If no, give me a thumb down

Class attendance

ingridchjort — 2021-08-23 14:50:51 UTC

Do you plan to attend lectures in the classroom at campus or online from streaming?

If yes, I attend classroom, give me a thumb up
If no, I attend digitally, give me a thumb down

Does that mean that you can get an A without the Varian-book? :)

2021-08-25 06:11:35 UTC

The right screen is black. Could you put the PP up there?

2021-08-25 06:18:19 UTC

We can't see what you write on the whiteboard from home

2021-08-25 06:22:11 UTC

Can't see anything know. The screen har just cloudy

2021-08-25 07:08:33 UTC

Axiom 5: can you correct it before posting on itslearning?

2021-08-25 07:20:13 UTC

Also, maybe a note on what it was actually

Thanks

Marginal utility

2021-08-25 07:29:40 UTC

As we never get "a max" of utility, shouldn't the first derivative be convex with lim -> 0 (but never reaching "the stationary value/max")

Indifferent curves

2021-08-25 07:38:31 UTC

Are one level (level curve) not one point along the utility curve, yes?

Mathematical note on "weakly"

2021-08-25 07:44:26 UTC

If X = 3

THEN 3 <= X <= 3

Weird, but true.

Meaning
BOTH
X >= 3
AND
X <=3

Because they BOTH hold true

Streaming

2021-08-25 07:48:22 UTC

The streaming ends exactly at 09:45 due to the default setting on panopto, would you mind sharing the content of the rest of the lectures after 09:45 to those who followed online?

The stream stops at 09:45 so the people at the stream can't see anything now, if you are talking.

2021-08-25 07:48:45 UTC

Assignment 1

2021-08-25 08:33:30 UTC

When does the soloutions for assignment 1 become available?

This chat is great!

ingridchjort — 2021-08-25 08:49:49 UTC

Only problem is that I forgot to look at it. I think people in the classroom need to help me monitor the chat and the raise the questions in class. Next time Ill try to follow the chat!

Streaming

ingridchjort — 2021-08-25 12:49:08 UTC

Hi all, The streaming from the lecture will be posted on its learning 24 hours after the lecture.

Studentrepresentative

ingridchjort — 2021-08-26 14:39:39 UTC

Just a reminder that the student administration will organize an election of the student representative for this class in week 36. The representative will meet up with me and Alessia in week 40 to discuss the course progress, the level and other issues.

No, we won't see the whiteboard

2021-09-01 06:02:29 UTC

can't see anything

2021-09-01 06:12:54 UTC

Can you upload these calculations later?

2021-09-01 06:13:38 UTC

issamhafy — 2021-09-01 06:32:47 UTC

You can chose to focus on the board using the circled button

Minus

ingridchjort — 2021-09-01 08:07:58 UTC

Hi all, I had lost one minus on the slide. Coorected version is uploaded:

Solution manual

2021-09-01 08:29:53 UTC

When will you post the solution manual for Homework - week 34?

New typo in the slides

ingridchjort — 2021-09-01 13:12:20 UTC

Updated and corrected version is on itslearning

Lagrange

ingridchjort — 2021-09-01 13:17:44 UTC

Was the derivations of the consumer problem in class too slow and boring repetition of your undergraduate studies in economics (press thumb up) or was it not (press thumb down)

Today

ingridchjort — 2021-09-08 05:10:21 UTC

I will continue from the slides on lecture 2 and then after the brake do the slides for lecture 3, Intertemporal choice.
Remember to watch the video on how to derive the Slutsky equation!

See u soon!

when a student in class ask a question can you please repeat it out loud? because we cant really hear it from home

2021-09-08 06:54:36 UTC

I think that a separate video for the example can be helpful instead of next class.

2021-09-08 07:56:39 UTC

Remember - TA session this week

ingridchjort — 2021-09-08 08:09:18 UTC

Morten Grindaker will hold the TA session

Remember - TA session this week, joint with macro

ingridchjort — 2021-09-08 08:10:01 UTC

Morten Grindaker will hold the TA session

Is streamin live now?

ingridchjort — 2021-09-15 06:02:20 UTC

U have to zoom in on the tablet when you are writing :)

2021-09-15 06:22:24 UTC

cant still see what you are writing :(

2021-09-15 06:34:07 UTC

Sorry, could you please zoom out when you show information on slide. We cannot see what you are showing ;(

2021-09-15 07:26:01 UTC

Is everything ok at home looking at the streaming?

ingridchjort — 2021-09-22 06:54:06 UTC

extension of the class

2021-09-22 07:49:28 UTC

is it possible for you to post a short video or notes for the part that you went through after 09:45 for online people? thanks!

Hi everyone! Last practical info from me:

ingridchjort — 2021-09-27 14:09:29 UTC

- This week I will make some more videos on problem set/exercises that I have received feedback on. (Send me an email if there is a particular exercise you struggle with)
- Alessia will soon organize a student evaluation so you can give feedback on my part of the course. Every feedback is welcome since it helps me to become a better lecturer :-)

Lastly, I wish you good luck with the last part of the course! If you have twitter I sometimes tweet about microeconomics - but mostly about environmental economics (and often in Norwegian).

Ingrid

Start of Part II this week!

alessia_russo — 2021-09-27 20:50:28 UTC

Hi everyone! This week we will start with game theory and its applications. I will continue using this padlet to get continuous feedbacks from you.

Is there a link to todays lecture

2021-09-29 06:05:10 UTC

Are we going to play some games in clas?

2021-09-29 06:33:05 UTC

Streaming of lecture

2021-09-29 06:55:16 UTC

I'm sorry for technical problems the first part of the lecture has not been streamed, but it will be the second part.

TR, (85,37) nach equilibrium?

2021-09-29 07:21:08 UTC

will you post the zoom record on itslearning? since the streaming didn't work for the first hour, and the screen has been displaying 'this session has been recorded' for the second hour, thus no content showed.

2021-10-05 14:24:02 UTC

Link for quick exercise

2021-10-06 05:19:46 UTC

Here a link we will use during the lecture of today.

issues on streaming

2021-10-06 09:45:07 UTC

please fix the problem of the streaming, the same issue of the screen with last week appeared again.
it is impossible to look at the content at all

Watch posted video BNE with extensive form game

alessia_russo — 2021-10-11 15:02:40 UTC

If you want to go through all the steps made to find BNE using the extensive form representation of the game, please watch the posted video

Application: Market for used cars

alessia_russo — 2021-10-11 15:05:42 UTC

Tomorrow we will apply methods discussed today in class to understand the problem of adverse selection in the market for used cars.

We will have a discussion based on this article.

Video on last part of lecture

2021-10-12 07:51:23 UTC

I will post a video on how to solve the lemon market game using the normal form game rather than the extensive form game

Will you start the stream?

2021-10-13 06:00:55 UTC

wait few minutes for streaming

2021-10-13 06:04:51 UTC

Recorded lectures: feedbacks

alessia_russo — 2021-10-13 14:40:55 UTC

Hi all, can you please provide me with feedbacks regarding whether you can watch the videos of the recorded lectures of Monday and Tuesday? I posted them in itslearning. Thanks!

Group Assignments

alessia_russo — 2021-10-24 06:50:52 UTC

Hi all,

I'm planning to give you an assignment to be solved in group at the end of this week. The assignment is going to be an exercise whose level of difficulty is slightly higher than that in an exercise in a final exam. You will have a couple of weeks to deliver your solution and I will send you back detailed feedbacks.

At the end of this process, I will also post the assignments and their solutions on itslearning.

Taking part of an assignment group is voluntary. If you are willing to do so, please send me an email with the names of the members of your group. Group size can vary from a minimum of two to a maximum of 5/6.

The deadline to sign in for group assignment is October 30.

Thanks!

If you have questions on the mock exam, you can post also here

2021-11-03 08:01:10 UTC

Add here your questions and topics to be discussed in the drop in session!
