The Unit 3 reading has 3 main ideas:
First, Microeconomics is a branch of
economics and it is the study of
individuals' behavior in making decision
on the allocation of scarce resources. In
detail, it studies the way to allocate
limited resources, the way to make the
best tradeoff for workers, consumers and
firms
Next, there are 3 main sides of
microeconomics:
The first one is the idea of making optimal trade-offs
within the modern markets. Consumers, with the limited
incomes and their preferences, maximize the well-being
by trading off the purchase of good's quantity and their
consumption. Workers are also stuck between a rock
and a hard place as they must make decision on when
and whether to enter the workplace, choice of
employment and hours of work. Corporations with the
available resources , have to decide what to produce
and how many.
The second one is the role of prices, which can be
explained throughout the fact that all of the trade-offs
are based on the prices faced by individuals.
Last is how Microeconomics explains the process that
prices are determined due to the interactions among
economic agents.
Finally, economics is very important, so we
must try to learn it ^^
