surplus, producer surplus.
Outcomes:
1. The students learn basic concepts of microeconomics which help them understand every other paper in economics.
2. Students understand how the concepts of microeconomics help them take economic decisions in real life
3. The paper helps students in understanding different market structures that exist in an economy.

2. Understanding the rule of differentiation and its application in economics.
3. Use integration analysis in economics.
Outcomes:
1. Explain the basic concepts, tools and techniques of mathematics and their use in economics.
2. interpret numerical results obtained from mathematical methods.
3. Apply mathematical techniques in the analysis of economic theories.

Semester III

Objective:
1. To develop an advanced theoretical understanding of consumer behaviour and decision-making. To develop a theoretical understanding of strategic behaviour of economic agents.
2. The objective of the course is to introduce the student with advanced modern microeconomic theory.
Outcomes:
1. On successful completion of the course, a student will be able to develop a sound understanding of the core microeconomic concepts that economists use to understand the process of decision-making by an economic agent(s). The student should be able to apply mathematical tools and techniques to study behaviour of economic agents. Besides students will be able to identify strategic behaviour of economic agents and formulate them in a game theoretic framework. They will be able to identify and analyse strategic interactions and explain negotiation and exchange between economic agents in game theory models. The students will be able to compute the outcome of normal form games, mixed strategy and sequential games.
2. After the completion of the course, students will be able to address economic issues related to uncertainty and risk in decision-making. The students will learn to understand how in the real world market contractual settings are characterized by conflict of interests as well as asymmetry of information among the individuals involved. Also, the students will develop an understanding of how negotiations made under asymmetric information conditions and how the sub-optimality problem can be addressed in economics.

Objectives:
1. To impart knowledge on statistical concepts like data collection, measures of central tendency & dispersion
2. To provide essential knowledge of the theory and key properties of probability
3. Understand the concept of time series & index numbers.
Outcomes:
1. Understand and have the basic knowledge on data collection and various statistical elementary tools
2. Possess critical thinking skills with regard to the theory of probability and its use in solving business and everyday challenges.
3. Use the tools of index numbers and time series to compare and analyse the datas.

Semester V

3. The students will be able to analyse and relate the macroeconomic theories to the real world.

Objectives:
1. To provide a framework for analyzing and interpreting economic data to better understand how the economy works.
2. To develop models of the economy, to test models’ accuracy in predicting population parameters, and to contribute to society through those models.
Outcomes:
1. Econometrics applies statistical methods that describe real-world phenomena and creates testable economic models. Econometrics is a subset of economics, applying statistics and mathematical techniques to “justify” a theoretical economic model with empirical rigor helping the students to understand theories and predict future trends with the help of quantative calculations.
2. This Paper focuses to convert qualitative statements into quantitative statements.

Objectives:
1. To familiarize the students with the present features of the Indian Economy.
2. To make the students understand the demographic features and growth distribution of India and a little on Nagaland demography.
