The structure of the subject is given by the following topic areas: Methodological introduction (analytical tools for microeconomics, development of the microeconomic theory). Demand analysis (preferences and the function of total utility, comparative statistics; the impact of the change in the nominal income on demand, comparative statistics; the impact of change in the real income on demand, theory of shown preferences). The theory of the firm (choice of the optimum technology and cost minimization, owner's utility maximization).
