Course description: This course provides coverage of microeconomics at the intermediate level. The course focuses on some theories of consumer demand, production, costs as well as some kinds of market structures operated: perfect competition, oligopoly and monopoly and apply to consumer and firm behavior. Students are assumed to have a basic grasp of microeconomics from a principles course and adequate calculus ability. Part I: Consumer behavior shows How consumers maximize utility. Students must understand The preferences, Utility, budget function, and optimal choice. Part II: Firm Behavior shows some market structures, analyze the effects of each market structure ‘on consumer and firm. Language of instruction and testing: English Test forms: Written-test Learning activities: the course will be conducted in an interactive manner that requires students’ frequent feedbacks. Learning activities will include lectures, in-class discussion, case study preparation and presentation, homework and tests.5.

Assets criteria 9.2.1, Attendance and Participation You are expected to participate in discussion sessions by asking questions, participating in the discussions, and solving exercises on the board. If during these sessions you cannot solve a problem when asked to do so, explain why you cannot do it, where you get stuck, what is the precise issue which gives you difficulty, etc. If you have done some preparation you should be able to do this, which will prove very useful to you and the rest of the class to work through this together.

The groups present their answers, other groups ask them questions or give opinions to argue. ~ In order for students to volunteer for ideas then the whole class argues and teachers conclude the problem. 5) Conclusion (according to learning objectives). - Students understand consumers’ choices when there are risks ~ Students can from the situation of housing insurance to make judgments and thinking about consumer choice as an economist. HOUSING PROPERTY INSURANCE ‘When a person goes to buy a house, he needs to look at the proof of legal ownership of the house. If ownership is not clear, there will always be a possibility that the seller is not the real owner. Or, the seller of the house used this house as collateral for the loan. Or, there is a legal requirement to limit the use of this property. 28Suppose Mr. Peter is willing to buy a house for $ 3 billion but he believes there are 1/20 chances that a thorough investigation will help him discover that the seller does not actually own the property. This house of course will no longer be worth the price. Without insurance, people who neglect risk will give the highest price of $ 2.85 billion (0.95 x33 billion + 0.05 x 0). However, if the house is considered a great asset, Peter does not like risk, so he only sets a lower price, assuming $2.3 billion. In this situation, the buyer desires to be sure there is no risk due to lack of ownership. To be sure, buyers will buy housing ownership insurance. The insurance company will study the history of the asset, check whether the legal status has been ensured, then the insurance company will bear all the remaining risks. Since the insurance company is an expert in this field and it is easy to collect information, title insurance costs are lower than the expected value of the loss. The assumed fee of VND 15 million seems reasonable even though the expected loss may be many times higher. 29CASE STUDY 2 (topic 7) TELECOMMUNICATION SERVICES IN VIETNAM 1/ Case study objectives: Applying game theory, its reaction to opponent's behavior. 2/ Describe the situation 3/ Ask questions 4) Leading student discussion (team, study group): By the number of students in the class, about 6-8 students a group to discuss, give answers. 5) Conclusion (according to learning objectives). - Students understand the competitive market monopoly and monopoly in practice. - Students can from the telecommunications market situation to make judgments and thoughts about other markets as an economist.TELECOMMUNICATION SERVICES IN VIETNAM. In 1993, the cost of using mobile phones in Vietnam was very high. Rates for post-paid mobile subscribers are 8,000 VND / minute (equivalent to 0.75 USD), and monthly subscription fee is 20 USD. At that time, mobile phone service was only covered in four cities, namely Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh (HCM), Bien Hoa and Vung Tau. After nearly 20 years, by 2012, the price of mobile minutes was only approximately 1,000 VND (equivalent to 0.05 USD), the subscription fee was only 49,000 VND / month, and the waves were covered all over the country. Until the early 2000s, Vietnam's mobile market still consisted of only two mobile service providers, Mobifone and Vinaphone. Mobifone was established in 1993 by Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Corporation (VNPT) to become the first mobile network in Vietnam under GSM technology. Two years later Mobifone cooperated with Comvik Vietnam AB Company of Kennevik Group in the form of business cooperation contracts (Business Cooperation Contract - BCC) for development consultancy for Mobifone. Vinaphone was established in 1996 and is a dependent accounting branch of VNPT. Because these two suppliers are owned by VNPT, for nearly 10 years (from 1993 to 2003 when the third mobile service provider appeared), the charge rate only slightly decreased compared to 1993, in when the subscription fee is still VND 200,000 / month. At that time, there were three charge zones, of which the highest area was 8,000 VND / minute. Although the birth of S-Fone and Cityphone marked a number of changes in the mobile service market, it was not until the end of 2004 when Viettel started appearing on the market that the breakthrough really took place out. Viettel is a brand belonging to the Military Telecom Group, before becoming a mobile service provider that has traded international telecommunication services such as VoIP, Internet and fixed telephone. Only after 5 months of birth until the end of 2004, Viettel quickly attracted more than 150,000 subscribers. Under the pressure of Viettel and, S-Fone, Mobifone and Vinaphone, have to reduce the charge, switch to charge for a 30-second block and have only one calling area. The launch of Viettel started the promotion race for new subscribers with different forms: discounting roaming fee, giving service subscription fee for postpaid subscribers, giving charge for charging cards for subscribers first, 31support the phone purchase or donate the phone when registering the service. The competition in the mobile services market began to take place drastically in 200. On the occasion of this Lunar New Year, operators Vinaphone and Mobifone continued to lose credibility due to long-running congestion incidents become worse during Tet. Taking advantage of this opportunity, both Mobifone and Viettel started network promotion programs: firstly, quite gently, giving 50% of roaming fee for prepaid and postpaid subscribers. At the end of the year, Viettel started racing to expand its promotions. Initially, in September 2005, Viettel launched a 50 million free call promotion: free of charge for the first in-network call of the day regardless of the call time and start increasing promotion for new subscribers: free Postpaid roaming charges and duplicating prepaid network accounts. This great promotion makes Mobifone and Vinaphone publicly ctiticize Viettel on mass media, Viettel is dumping phone service. This criticism caused the Ministry of Commerce to enter, and eventually arbitrate that Viettel did not dump. Since then, Mobifone, Vinaphone and S-Fone have expanded their promotions more than before: Vinaphone has increased the amount of prepaid account money from 50% to 50%, S-Fone is free to give VND 300,000 to rent How to buy new machines, Mobifone donates money to accounts for other subscribers. After launching the program of 50 million free calls, Viettel began to experience network congestion when customers called a lot at night time 19h - 21h, Viettel had to apologize to customers. In 2006, the competition of network services companies continued and became more severe: Vinaphone, Mobifone, Viettel reduced the prepaid roaming fee, donated from 10% - 30% for three to five subsequent recharge cards depending on company. Starting from this time, buying a sim and taking a used account is much cheaper than buying a prepaid scratch card and recharge. By the end of the year, Viettel expanded its network promotion. For prepaid subscribers, doubling the value of prepaid network set (a network set of VND 69,000 will have an account of VND 119,000), donating 30,000 to the account for the next 5 months, doubling three additional recharge cards. According to the For postpaid subscribers, no charge for roaming and 6-month subscription fee. Especially in 2006, when calculating total promotion time in different forms, Viettel had more than 6 months of promotion over a total of 12 months of a year. 32Currently, the quality and price of operators have also changed significantly, which is much more beneficial for consumers. Mobile penetration rate in Vietnam is also very high compared to the region. During the nearly 27 years since opening the market, the telecommunications market has really developed very well. 33CASE STUDY 3 (topic 8) UNEFFICIENT MEDICINE SYSTEM 1/ Learning objectives: Apply the theory of the chapter into practice. 2/ Describe the situation 3/ Ask questions 4/ Leading student discussion Students give opinions, and then discuss and teachers will conclude the problem, 5) Conclusion Students understand and apply the Pareto efficient. UNEFFICIENT MEDICINE SYSTEM The US spends a large share of GDP to pay for the health system compared to many other countries. But in fact, the health system in these country averages, for every doctor who has an office, there are 2.2 people who are administrative staff. This figure is 25% higher than the UK, 165% compared to the Netherlands and 215% compared to Germany. Therefore, a considerable amount of time and money is paid only to do administrative tasks such as medical report, situation description for insurance companies ... and a small amount is reserved for activities. Treatment is really effective for patients. 341. Name course: 2. Credit hours: 3. Code COURSE DESCRIPTION Intermediate Microeconomics 60 credit hours INE2101-E 4.
