 Micro-economics Revision sheet
I. Introduction to Microeconomics
•Microeconomics examines the behavior of individuals,
households, and firms in making decisions about resource
allocation in various markets.
II. The Production Function
•The production function describes the relationship between
inputs (such as labor and capital) and outputs (goods or
services) in the production process.
III. Short-Run Production Costs
•Short-run production costs include both fixed costs (which do
not change with output) and variable costs (which do).
IV. Long-Run Production Costs
•Long-run production costs vary with the scale of production
and are influenced by factors like economies of scale.
V. Profit Maximization
•Firms aim to maximize profits by producing at the point where
marginal revenue equals marginal cost.
VI. Firms’ Short-Run Decisions to Produce
•Short-run production decisions are influenced by factors such
as market demand, input prices, and technology.
VII. Long-Run Decisions to Enter or Exit a Market
•Firms consider various factors, including market conditions and potential profits, when
deciding to enter or exit a market in the long run.
VIII. Perfect Competition
•In perfect competition, many firms produce identical products with no market power, and
entry and exit are easy.
IX. Introduction to Imperfectly Competitive Markets
•Imperfectly competitive markets include monopolies, monopolistic competition, and
oligopolies, where firms have some degree of market power.
X. Monopoly
•A monopoly exists when a single firm controls the entire market and faces no competition.
XI. Price Discrimination
•Price discrimination occurs when a firm charges different prices to different consumers for the
same product.
XII. Monopolistic Competition
•Monopolistic competition is characterized by many firms producing differentiated products
with some degree of market power.
XIII. Oligopoly and Game Theory
•Oligopoly refers to a market structure dominated by a few large firms, where strategic
interactions among firms are analyzed using game theory.

Understanding Questions Application Question

1.Explain the concept of the production function and its significance in economics.
2.Differentiate between short-run and long-run production costs, providing examples of each.
3.Discuss the factors that influence a firm's profit maximization decision.
4.Analyze the short-run decisions firms make when deciding how much to produce.
5.Evaluate the long-run factors that firms consider when deciding to enter or exit a market.
6.Compare and contrast perfect competition with monopolistic competition, focusing on market
structure, pricing, and product differentiation.
Imagine you are a consultant advising a newly established
firm in a highly competitive market. Using your knowledge
of microeconomics, develop a comprehensive strategy for
the firm to maximize its profits in both the short run and
the long run. Consider factors such as production costs,
market structure, pricing strategies, and potential entry or
exit decisions.
