Course Objectives

  • To apply micro economic concepts and techniques in evaluating business decisions taken by firms
  • How tools of standard price theory can be employed to formulate a decision problem, evaluate alternative courses of action and finally choose among alternatives

  • The students will be able to understand the basic concepts of  micro economics and its application.
  • Can make optimal decisions by integrating the concept of economics and business

Course Syllabus

Unit I: Demand, Supply and Market equilibrium: individual demand, market demand, individual supply, market supply, market equilibrium; Elasticity of demand and supply: Price elasticity of demand, income elasticity of demand, cross price elasticity of demand, elasticity of supply; Theory of consumer behaviour: cardinal utility theory, ordinal utility theory(indifference curves, budget line, consumer choice, price effect, substitution effect, income effect for normal, inferior and giffen goods), revealed preference theory.

 

Unit II: Producer and optimal production choice: optimizing behaviour in short run (geometry of product curves, law of diminishing margin productivity, three stages of production), optimizing behaviour in long run (isoquants, isocost line, optimal combination of resources) Costs and scale: traditional theory of cost (short run and long run, geometry of cost curves, envelope curves), modern theory of cost (short run and long run), economies of scale, economies of scope.

 

Unit III: Theory of firm and market organization: perfect competition (basic features, short run equilibrium of firm/industry, long run equilibrium of firm/industry, effect of changes in demand, cost and imposition of taxes) ; monopoly (basic features, short run equilibrium, long run equilibrium, effect of changes in demand, cost and imposition of taxes, comparison with perfect competition, welfare cost of monopoly), price discrimination; monopolistic competition (basic features, demand and cost, short run equilibrium, long run equilibrium, excess capacity)

 

Unit IV: Factor market: demand for a factor by a firm under marginal productivity theory (perfect competition in the product market, monopoly in the product market), market demand for a factor, supply of labour, market supply of labour, factor market equilibrium.
