This course focuses on the core of microeconomic theory, shedding light on the factors that steer market economies. We will explore what influences the supply and demand for goods and services, explaining how elements like price, consumer preferences, and production costs interact dynamically to shape market conditions. You will also become familiar with the concept of elasticity, gaining the ability to recognize how different factors affect how sensitive consumers and producers are to changes in prices. The course will also cover supply elasticity, enabling you to understand how producers adapt their production levels when market conditions change.
