                    Managerial Economics is the use of economic theory and mathematical and statistical 
                    techniques in order to examine how a firm can make optimal managerial decisions given 
                    the constraints it faces. The main objective of this course is to equip students with the 
                    necessary theory and techniques and the ability to apply them in order to inform and 
                    enhance  managerial  decision  making.  Topics  covered  include:  goals  of  the  firm, 
                    optimization techniques, demand theory and estimation, forecasting and measurement, 
                    theory  of  production  and  estimation,  cost  theory  and  estimation,  pricing  and  output 
                    determination under different market structures, game theory, and pricing in practice. 
                      
                    Course Objectives:

                        B.  Use the tools of economic theory to explain optimal production and pricing 
                           decisions by the firm in each market structure 
                        C.  Apply regression analysis, estimation and forecasting, and game theory to guide 
                           managerial decision-making.
