I teach Managerial Economics to MBA students at Minnesota Carlson, and I teach a PhD course for Carlson Students that also is part of the IO sequence for Economics PhD students. I participate in the IO workshop in the Economics Department.
At Minnesota, Managerial Econ is a half-semester course for MBA students who may have no prior exposure to economics. So I teach what strike me as the most useful bits of microeconomics for managers: supply and demand, pricing with market power (including "fancy pricing"), a smidgeon of oligopoly/strategic interaction, and a little bit of market failure (chiefly externalities).
PhD teaching is the only context in which the students want to be like us. This allows me to unabashedly do the only thing I can do. I try to teach them how to think - and do research - like me. With occasional success.
