This course is designed to be a natural continuation to the core course in Intermediate Microeconomics that is taught to students of the Economics and Society major. Having taught the core course, I have noticed that a recurring criticism is that the course is very theoretical and thus insufficiently in touch with the realities of the world out there. While the time constraints of the semester make it hard to both cover the current breadth of topics and apply these concepts to more concrete examples, a seminar in Semester 4 would allow students who are genuinely interested in Microeconomics to explore some of the more tangible sub-fields and extensions in Microeconomics, while providing concrete examples of their application to real life. It would also serve as a necessary complement to the existing offering of Economics seminars and electives available to students on the Le Havre campus, which for the most part lean heavily in favour of topics in macroeconomics.
