About the course

This course is basically an introductory course on the Micro-economics aspect of economics theory. The topics covered includes the subject matter of economics and basic economics problems; the methodology of economics science; and the general principles of resource allocation; market mechanism-demand and supply; price determination and elasticity, theory of consumer behavior; theory of production; market structure price and output under perfect competition; monopoly; monopolistic competition and oligopoly. It takes you through meaning of economics and its various definitions. Since economics is defined based on the two assumptions, the assumptions were elaborated on in relation with some other concepts that are interwoven. Thereby interdependency and complexity of economics become obvious through real life scenario given in the units.
