Normal laws of demand suggest that as prices increase demand decreases whilst firms attempt to supply more (with the opposite happening as prices decrease). The concept of elasticities asks the question ‘by how much does demand and supply change?’ Recent examination reports have made it clear that “price elasticity is an important topic and students should be prepared to apply it to the examination context as well as quote the formulas.” There is a lot to learn in this section – start with a good understanding of what elasticity it and how it is measured. Then consider why it matters for businesses to have a working knowledge / estimate of the coefficient of price elasticity of demand.
Students should be able to:
Illustrate and perform simple calculations using total revenue, average revenue and marginal revenue.
Draw and interpret revenue curves
Understand the relationships between total revenue, price elasticity of demand and marginal revenue
Students should be able to:
Understand the characteristics of this market structure with particular reference to the interdependence of firms
Explain the behaviour of firms in this market structure
Explain reasons for collusive and non-collusive behaviour
Evaluate the reasons why firms may wish to pursue both overt and tacit collusion
Students should be able to:
Understand the assumptions of perfect competition and be able to explain the behaviour of firms in this market structure.
Understand the significance of firms as price-takers in perfectly competitive markets. An understanding of the meaning of shut-down point is required. The impact of entry into and exit from the industry should be considered.
Students should be able to:
Carry out diagrammatic analysis of the market structure in both the short and long run
Understand the importance of advertising and differentiation for the model of monopolistic competition and be able to contrast this with other market structures.
Students should be able to explain and evaluate the efficiency of monopolistic competition

One of the most significant roles of a modern government is to ensure that the economy performs to its full capacity.
The government has to consider the performance indicators like inflation, unemployment and economic growth and devise policies to achieve their aims. In this session we will consider the options that fall into the fiscal and monetary policy
portfolio.
AS Macro Economics: Economic Cycle and Objectivestutor2u
In this session we are going to focus on the performance of
the UK economy over recent years and see how economic
growth appears to follow a cyclical pattern
This is a short revision webinar looking at the factors affecting business profits and working through some Year 2 multiple choice questions on related topics.
This revision presentation considers the variety of stakeholders impacted by business activity. How will a change in objectives, such as a move from profit maximisation to revenue maximisation have an effect on different stakeholders?
Students should be able to:
Understand the distinction between normal and supernormal profit
Explain and illustrate the concept of profit maximisation using marginal cost and marginal revenue
In this short revision video we look at a range of business objectives and how they affect the price that might be charged to consumers.
Key revision points:
Objectives often driven by managerial motives
Interdependent behaviour in an oligopoly - firms must consider the likely reactions of rivals
Most businesses are satisficers rather than maximisers
Regulatory interventions do matter e.g. price capping
More firms now use big data to drive revenues
Consumers are increasingly sensitive to issues surrounding fair / ethical pricing
This presentation basically tells how the firm makes decisions in a competitive market. To make concepts here more understable, I have prepared graphs and mathematical equations.

In this revision presentation we look at recent trends in UK trade union membership, consider how trade unions can affect both pay and employment and challenge the textbook view that union-negotiated pay increases inevitably have negative consequences for employment.
In this revision presentation we cover key examples of pure and quasi public goods and consider the arguments for and against an increase in government spending on public goods.
Poverty Reduction Policies in Low Income Countriestutor2u
This revision presentation covers some of the main causes of continued high levels of extreme poverty in low and middle income countries and considers a range of pro-poor government interventions designed to increase productivity and regular employment and waged income in formal labour markets.

Microeconomics - Great Applied Examples for Examstutor2u
In this presentation, I have chosen loads of current examples that you might want to use as context in your microeconomics exams. We look at examples from different market structures, recent mergers and takeovers, the world's most valuable companies, the largest employer, unicorn business, de-mergers, the biggest initial public offerings (IPOs) and much else. Hopefully a useful video to go through to add some super examples into your revision notes.
In this short revision video, we look at the substantial productivity gap between the UK and many of the UK’s major competitor countries.
Paul Krugman, the Nobel Prize-winning economist said twenty fives years ago that “Productivity isn’t everything, but in the long run it is almost everything,”
In this presentation we consider the theory of wage-setting with a monopsony employer and the possible impact that a trade union might have on wages and employment. We also look at efficiency wage theory and mutual gains from pay bargaining between stakeholders.
For many economists, the labour market is the most important market of all to study, analyse and evaluate. Like product markets for goods and services, labour markets can also fail. The main types of labour market failure are labour immobility including skills gaps, inequality, disincentives to be economically active, labour market discrimination and the effects of monopsony power of employers.

In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
