Here’s what the exam will cover (and sample problems from each chapter of the online micro book):

  • Ch 6: Cake cutting (Look at some or all of problems 6.1 – 6.3.)
  • Ch 7: Pareto efficiency (Look at some or all of problems 7.1 – 7.4.)
  • Ch 8: Simultaneous-move games (Look at some or all of problems 8.1 – 8.6.)
  • Ch 9: Auctions (Look at some or all of problems 9.1 – 9.6.)
  • Ch 10: From Some to Many will not be on the exam but it might be enlightening. (There are no problems in this chapter, but you should understand the concepts.)
  • Ch 17: Fisheries will not be on the exam but again might be enlightening. (There are no problems in this chapter, but it’s an important instance of the Tragedy of the Commons.)
  • Ch 18: Sequential-move games (Look at some or all of problems 18.2 – 18.5, 18.8, 18.12(a)-(c), 18.14, 18.15, 18.16.)

PS. You do not need to bring a calculator to the exam, but you will next time so you might as well get in the habit. Also, there aren’t many formulas for this exam, but I put a couple of definitions on the cheat sheet. Let me know if you have any other requests for the cheat sheet, and FYI also on the cheat sheet is a practice exam.
