Dazhuo Wei
Economist (PhD Candidate)
I am a Ph.D candidate at Western University, with a primary interest in understanding how people make decisions under bounded rationality. My work focuses on nonparametric modelling and machine learning applications to decision theory, as opposed to traditional parametric models, and on deriving robust empirical implications of economic structure and optimizing behavior.
Expected Graduation: May 2025.
Teaching Experience
ECON 2150A-650: Intermediate Microeconomics Theory I
Semester: Summer
Offered: 2024
This course aims to provide undergraduate students with the necessary knowledge about microeconomic theories related to the behaviour of consumers, producers, and competitive markets. We will discuss the consumer and producer theories and application and the long-run and short-run equilibrium in competitive markets using three microeconomic tools: constrained optimization, equilibrium analysis, and comparative statics. We will also analyze the impact of government interventions in the perfectly competitive markets on the output and pricing decisions and the welfare of economic agents.
