The role of Microeconomics


The Subject Matter of Microeconomics

Microeconomics studies the behaviour of individual economic agents in the markets for different goods and services and try to figure out how prices and quantities of goods and services are determined through the interaction of individuals in these markets.

Goods means physical, tangible objects used to satisfy people’s wants and needs. The term ‘ goods ’ should be contrasted with the term ‘ services ’, which captures the intangible satisfaction of wants and needs. (As compared to food items and clothes, which are examples of goods, we can think of the tasks that doctors and teachers perform for us as examples of services.)

We also can differ:

– economic good (scarce good) - the quantity demanded exceeds the quantity supplied at a zero price.

– free good - the quantity supplied exceeds the quantity demanded at a zero price.

– economic bad - people are willing to pay to avoid the item.

By individual, we mean an individual decision making unit. A decision making unit can be a single person or a group like a household, a firm or any other organisation.
