Micro Theory Guides (Ph.D.)

less than 1 minute read

Published:

During my time as a first-year student, I created many “guides” to help me with the content. After passing my core exams, I became the TA for the Ph.D. microeconomics courses for the following cohort. During that time, I consolidated all of my microeconomics guides into two PDFs. These guides are based on lecture notes and problems from Dr. R. Vijay Krishna and Dr. Luke Boosey. Although I am not a theorist, I hope these materials prove helpful to other Ph.D. students in economics. Any and all mistakes are my own.

You can find the guides below:

Microeconomics Theory I Guide

Microeconomics Theory II Guide

I also have (less complete) macroeconomics guides. Please reach out if you would like access to either of them.

I taught my first class, Principles of Microeconomics, in Summer 2025. In the last two sessions of the course, I included a section on the basics of investing for retirement. I am passionate about financial literacy and education, and I shared some of what I have learned with my students to give them a baseline understanding. You can download this presentation here.
