This comprehensive guide explores key concepts in economics, focusing on Production Possibility Frontiers (PPFs) for goods X and Y, comparing increasing and constant opportunity costs. It delves into supply and demand models, examining determinants such as taste, related goods, technology, and input costs. The text also addresses market welfare, consumer surplus, and producer surplus, illustrating concepts through graphical representations. Additional topics include the behavior of perfectly competitive firms, monopolies, oligopolies, and the impact of externalities on market efficiency.
