What's inside

Six courses

Firm Level Economics: Consumer and Producer Behavior

(0 hours)
All goods and services are subject to scarcity, requiring society to develop allocation mechanisms. In contemporary times, most countries have turned to market-based allocation systems where prices act as rationing devices. To understand this process, businesses construct demand curves to capture consumer behavior and consider supply curves to capture producer behavior.

Firm Level Economics: Markets and Allocations

(0 hours)
In markets, prices act as rationing devices, encouraging or discouraging production and consumption to find an equilibrium. This course examines how different market structures result in different resource allocations, the impact of external shocks, and the efficiency of equilibrium. It also explores government intervention, information problems, externalities, and optimal government response.
