About the lecture

In this module, we look at the situations when markets work. In particular, we look at: (i) how the free market works and under which conditions it achieves an efficient allocation of resources; (ii) the fundamental theorems of welfare economics; (iii) Pareto efficiency; (iv) what happens in situations of excess demand and supply in an efficient market; and (v) the conditions needed for free markets to achieve efficiency.
