Microeconomics

Good morning, afternoon, and/or evening, and welcome to Economics 101 - Introduction to Microeconomics! Wikipedia defines Microeconomics to be "the study of the economic behaviour of individual consumers, firms, and industries and the distribution of production and income among them".

But what does this mean? "The study of economic behavior". One of the key concepts in Economics is the idea of scarcity. Society as a whole has unlimited wants, and scarcity occurs because there are not enough resources to satisfy these wants. Economic behavior comes into play when deciding how to allocate the resources available.

Whether you call it a "course" or a "learning project", you can organize it here. Courses/Learning projects can be organised from a new "Topic" page, or directly in the Main namespace (ie without any prefix). We encourage you to take the initiative and add your materials here!
