1.Educational objective:
The goal of the subject is studying the optimal choice of individual economic subjects: consumer,

monopoly, oligopoly and monopoly competition. Achieving balance in multiple markets at the
same time will also be considered, which represents a connection between micro and macro
economy. Finally, certain imperfections of markets in which achieving Pareto efficiency by free
action is not possible: externalities, public goods and asymmetric information.
