Overview

Overview

The Microeconomic Theory Cluster (MITEC) provides a research environment in the field of economic theory. This includes in particular the theory of general equilibrium, taken in a broad sense, and game theory, pure and applied.

The cluster organises workshops, such as the General Equilibrium Day in York (GEday), York Symposium on Game Theory, research seminars, and student workshops. It also invites visitors to pursue research within the department.
