Remember that this is just a sample outline, and the actual
content and structure of a Microeconomics course may vary
between universities
...
It is concerned with how individuals and firms make
decisions about how to allocate their scarce resources, and how these
decisions interact to determine prices and quantities
...
It is also used in a
wide variety of other fields, such as business, finance, and public
policy
...
The demand curve slopes
downward, indicating that consumers are willing to buy less of a good
as the price of that good increases
...

Chapter 3: The Supply Curve
The supply curve is a graphical representation of the relationship
between the price of a good and the quantity of that good that
producers are willing and able to sell
...

There are a number of factors that can affect the supply of a good,
including the cost of production, the prices of inputs, technology, and
expectations
...
The equilibrium price is the price
at which the market clears
...
When the market is in equilibrium, there is no
excess demand or excess supply
...
In microeconomics, elasticity is often used to
measure how responsive the demand for a good is to changes in its
price
...

Chapter 6: Consumer Surplus and Producer Surplus
Consumer surplus is the difference between the amount that
consumers are willing to pay for a good and the amount that they
actually pay for it
...

Consumer surplus and producer surplus are both measures of
economic welfare
...

Chapter 7: Market Failure
Market failure occurs when the market fails to allocate resources
efficiently
...

Externalities are costs or benefits that are not borne by the producers
or consumers of a good
...
Monopolies are firms that have market
power and can charge prices above marginal cost
...
There
are a number of different types of government intervention, including
taxes, subsidies, and regulations
...
Subsidies can be used to increase the supply of a
good or service
...

Chapter 9: Conclusion
Microeconomics is a complex and fascinating subject
...
Microeconomics is also essential for understanding
how government intervention can affect the economy
