Course Description: 

Welcome to this course on Basics of Microeconomics : Behavior of Buyers and Sellers & Product Pricing

This course is divided into 2 parts:

1) Understanding the Behavior of Buyers and Sellers
This part is covered in Section 1 (Demand), Section 2 (Supply) and Section 3 (Supply and Demand Together)

In this part, I will take you through the heart of Economics - Demand and Supply Mechanism (Determined by Buyers and Sellers ) and we will discuss the following topics :

What is Demand?
Do you demand less when the price of a commodity rises.? Yes..? Think again..!
Is your Demand only a function of price?
What is supply?
What affects supply of a good in the market?
We, as buyers, want to pay as low a price as possible; sellers, on the other hand, want to charge as high a price as possible, seems like there  are opposite interests here, then who gets to decide the price?
How does this price mechanism function?

2) Product Pricing Decisions - Price Elasticity of Demand and Supply
This part is covered in Section 4 (Elasticity of Demand) and Section 5 (Elasticity of Supply).

In this part, you will understand how to analyse demand and supply with greater precision and the product pricing mechanism.
We will go through the following topics:

What is Price Elasticity of Demand? 
How much product pricing power do you have?
How to calculate Elasticity? 
What is Price Elasticity of Supply? 
What affects Price Elasticity of Supply? 
  
This course is not only for the students of Economics but for anyone who has an interest in understanding these powerful mechanisms. 

It is a beginner level course and all the topics and concepts start from scratch, so even if you are not familiar with Economics, you may take this as your first step to understand this powerful subject.
