fundamentals of microeconomics: Lectures on Microeconomics Romans Pancs, 2024-08-20 Economic concepts and techniques presented through a series of big questions, models that show how to pose a questions rigorously and work toward an answer. This book helps readers master economic concepts and techniques by tackling fundamental economic and political questions through a series of models. It is organized around a sequence of “big questions,” among them: When do markets help translate individuals' uncoordinated, selfish actions into outcomes that are best for all? Do markets change people, and, if so, for worse or better? Translated into the language of modern economics, do Marx's ideas have merit? Why is there so much income inequality? Or is there too little? The arguments are in the theorem-proof format, distinguishing results derived in the context of fully specified models from educated speculation. Readers will learn how to pose a question rigorously and how to work toward an answer, and to appreciate that even (especially!) the broadest and most ambitious questions call for a model. The goal of the book is not to indoctrinate but to show readers how to reason toward their own conclusions. The first chapter, on the Walrasian model of general equilibrium, serves as the prerequisite for the rest of the book. The remaining chapters cover less conventional topics, including the morality of markets; matching theory; Marxism, socialism, and the resilience of markets; a formalization of Kant's categorical imperative; unintended consequences of policy design; and theories of justice. The book can be used as a textbook for advanced undergraduate or graduate students or as a resource for researchers in disciplines that draw on normative economics. |

fundamentals of microeconomics: A Primer on Microeconomics Thomas M. Beveridge, 2013-02-01 Economics, far from being the “dismal science,” offers us valuable lessons that can be applied to our everyday experiences. At its heart, economics is the science of choice, and a study of economic principles allows us to achieve a more informed understanding of how we make our choices, regardless of whether these choices occur in our everyday life or in our work environment. This book brings a real commonsense approach to basic microeconomics. It delivers clear statements of essential economic principles, supported by easy-to-understand examples, and uncluttered by extraneous material; the goal being to provide a concise, readable primer that covers the substance of microeconomic theory. It also looks at the efficient operation of competitive markets and what may cause those markets to fail; the benefits from trade; profit maximization; the consequences of choice; and the implications of imperfect competition. |

fundamentals of microeconomics: Fundamentals of Public Economics Jean-Jacques Laffont, 2008-07 This text by one of Europe's leading economists covers a wide variety of public economics issues with great clarity and precision, illustrating them with a wealth of carefully-chosen examples and problems. Starting from theories of general equilibrium analysis, Laffont considers issues of market failure, collective decisionmaking, and distributional equity. He analyzes the important informational and motivational problems involved in planning solutions for market failures, and provides a rigorous justification for the theoretical foundations of public economics. Topics include the theories of externalities, public goods, collective choice, consumer surplus, cost-benefit analysis and/or theory of the second best, incomplete markets, and nonconvexities. For each Laffont begins with the classical foundations, moves on to consider the topic within a simple model of the economy, and concludes by integrating results from recent journal articles into this simple framework. In this way students are led to understand the classical tradition in the context of modern general equilibrium theory. The book concludes with eight problems with solutions, each interesting and rich enough to be considered a case study, and nine exercises without solutions; together they provide an excellent review of material covered in the text. The basic approach in each problem is to set up a general equilibrium model, discover the market failure by calculating the unfettered equilibrium, and develop an explicit planning solution. Jean-Jacques Laffont is Professor of Economics at the University of Social Sciences at Toulouse. Fundamentals of Economics may be used in either an advanced graduate-level course in public economics or in conjunction with a second volume forthcoming by the same author in a course in advanced microeconomics. |

fundamentals of microeconomics: Microeconomics of Market Failures Bernard Salanie, 2000-10-10 Bernard Salanié studies situations where competitive markets fail to achieve a collective optimum and the interventions used to remedy these so-called market failures. In this book Bernard Salanié studies situations where competitive markets fail to achieve a collective optimum and the interventions used to remedy these so-called market failures. He includes discussions of theories of collective decision making, as well as elementary models of public economics and industrial organization. Although public economics is traditionally defined as the positive and normative study of government action over the economy, Salanié confines himself to microeconomic aspects of welfare economics; he considers taxation and the effects of public spending only as potential remedies for market failures. He concludes with a discussion of the theory of general equilibrium in incomplete markets. |

fundamentals of microeconomics: Demand Management in the FMCG sector. Concepts, success criteria and trends , 2021-05-04 Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,3, Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe - University of Applied Sciences, course: Demand Management, language: English, abstract: The main objective of this scientific paper is to define the complete Demand Management process along the supply chain. It is to be shown with which concepts the consumer goods industry can overcome the challenges. Success criteria should show how companies can measure their Demand Management performance and how they can get an edge over their competitors if they successfully implement a sustainable Demand Management process. The scientific paper thesis contains four chapters. At the beginning of chapter two, key terms and the relation between demand and supply is explained. Based on a fictive Supply Chain the different types of demands and capacities are defined and concepts are given on how to handle them. Then the important role and calculation methods of the forecast are presented. The chapter ends with forecast accuracy measures. In the third chapter, the theoretical approaches of the second chapter will be applied to the FMCG sector. After defining FMCG and its demand characteristics, concepts of Demand Management like Sales and Operation Planning or Efficient Customer Response are explained. At the end of this chapter, success criteria will be defined before showing how FMCG trends are affecting Demand Management. In the last chapter, the key findings of this paper are summarized. The paper ends with a conclusion and an outlook, where further significant research needs are addressed. High customer expectations, growing competitive pressure and shortage of resources throughout the supply chain describe the environment of the FMCG industry. Companies are forced to permanently increase their efficiency and effectiveness in all functional areas to stay competitive. The increasing complexity of supply chains makes it very difficult to forecast customer demand. In today’s markets, it is nearly impossible to anticipate market volatility and to quickly react to it if companies don’t implement modern methods or tools of Demand Management. Inaccurate estimation of demand can result in overproduction or in too long lead times that might cause a loss of business. Both scenarios can have a major negative impact on companies’ success. |

fundamentals of microeconomics: Prices and Quantities Rakesh V. Vohra, 2020-02-29 Rakesh V. Vohra offers a unique approach to studying and understanding intermediate microeconomics by reversing the conventional order of treatment, starting with topics that are mathematically simpler and progressing to the more complex. The book begins with monopoly, which requires single variable rather than multivariable calculus and allows students to focus clearly on the fundamental trade-off at the heart of economics: margin versus volume. Imperfect competition and the contrast with monopoly follows, introducing the notion of Nash equilibrium. Perfect competition is addressed toward the end of the book, and framed as a model of non-strategic behavior by firms and agents. The last chapter is devoted to externalities, with an emphasis on how one might design competitive markets to price externalities and linking the difficulties to the problem of efficient provision of public goods. Real-life examples engage the reader while encouraging them to think critically about the interplay between model and reality. |

fundamentals of microeconomics: The New School of Economics Philip Allan, 2023 The New School of Economics offers a coherent plan to transform our current confining and unjust economic system into a fair and prosperous economics with opportunities for all. This book addresses systematic issues and offers a roadmap to overcome denied access to prosperity, by creating a more just and vibrant society where everyone has an opportunity to thrive and find fulfilment. The author introduces a more simplified introduction to the world of Physiocracy, and the physiocrats, the 18th century group of economists who believed that the wealth of nations derived solely from the value of ' land agriculture' or ' land development' and that agricultural products should be highly priced. At the center of this book is the movement of a new way of economic thinking. With their political-economic framework, The New Physiocrats refer to this as the ' New School of Economics' . The New School of Economics presents many opportunities for lively debate. Especially now, when the whole banking system is about to collapse. The author presents an entirely new banking and tax system that is a much fairer distribution of resources and their allocation than ever before. |
