  1. Economics Rajesh Panda Associate Professor, SIBM, Pune. rajeshpanda@sibm.edu rajeshpanda.80@gmail.com

  2. Various facets • Microeconomics • Macroeconomics • Managerial Economics

  3. Key Concepts • Growth • Development • GDP • GNP • Inflation and deflation • Import and export • Exchange value and PPP • Capitalism and communism • Planning vs. execution • Political economy • Economics for managers • Changing Global Economic scenario

  4. Economics definitions • Adam Smith • Economics enquires into the factors that determine wealth of the country • Marshall • Economics is the study of mankind in the ordinary business of life • Robbins • Economics is the science of scarcity • Economics is the science which studies human behavior as a relationship between ends and scarce means which have alternate uses • Unlimited wants, scarce means, Alternative use of means

  5. Economics ……..is the study of how scarce resources of a society are used to produce important commodities and distribute them among different people.

  6. Subject matter • Economics studies the management of society’s scarce resources. • Management of resources is the central theme of economics because resources are scarce. Hence economics is also called the science of scarcity.

  7. Why is Economics important? • To ensure proper allocation of scarce resources. • To ensure cost minimisation. • Improving one’s ability to understand business fluctuations and transactions with clarity.

  8. Scarcity • Scarcity is unavailability of a resource or a good in abundance. • On account of limited resources society is unable to produce all the goods and services it wants to.

  9. Economics Macro Economics Micro Economics Economic study

  10. Micro Economics • Micro economics deals with minute aspects of the economy. • It deals with each economic unit on individual level. • It deals with how individuals and firms make decisions under different situations and how do they interact.

  11. Macro Economics • ………….studies economy as a whole • It is a study of various economic variables in general. • It studies economy wide phenomena such as nation’s income, recession, economic growth, inflation, output etc.

  12. Statements in Economics……. • We get to see two types of statements in economic theory. • They are: • Positive statements and • Normative statements

  13. Positive statements…….. • These statements are also referred to as Positive and Normative economics. • Positive economics explains things, economic problems and variables as they are. • Positive economics explains, ‘what is…’

  14. Normative Economics…….. • Normative economics explains how economic variables should be. • Normative economics explains ‘what should be…..’

  15. Subject matter of Micro Economics • Micro economics deals with demand . supply and equilibrium in a market. • The forces of demand and supply are at the centre of micro economic theory. • These forces determine price fluctuations relating to any product.

  16. Micro economic efficiency • Efficiency in production • Efficiency of distribution • Allocative efficiency

  17. Subject matter of Macro Economics • Macro economics deals with issues that are aggregate in nature. • They include: National income – Employment- Inflation etc.. • It also studies the relationships between different aggregates.

  18. Microeconomics • Product pricing • Theory of Demand • Theory of production cost • Factor pricing • Wages • Rents • Interest • Profit • Economic welfare

  19. Macroeconomics • Income and employment • Consumption function • Investment • General price level and inflation • Economic Growth • Distribution( relative shares of wages and profits)

  20. Central Problems of an Economy • What to Produce • How to produce • For Whom to produce • What provision be made for economic growth

  21. Central problems are solved: • Market/price Mechanism • Economic Planning

  22. Production Possibility Curve • Represents alternate production possibities facing an economy

  37. Capitalism • Right to private property • Freedom of entreprise • Freedom of choice by customers • Profit Motive • Competition • Price system • Inequalities of income

  38. Critical evaluation of capitalism • Free market doesn’t ensure maximum social satisfaction at minimum social cost • Consumer sovereignty may not be valid • Economic instability and unemployment • Doesn’t ensure rapid growth in developing countries • Concentration of wealth and income

  39. Capitalism Vs Communism

  40. Microeconomics • Product pricing • Theory of Demand • Theory of production cost • Factor pricing • Wages • Rents • Interest • Profit • Economic welfare

  41. Theory of Demand • Law of Demand: states the functional relationship between price and quantity demanded • Why does the curve slope downward? • Income effect • Substitution effect • Exceptions • Veblin Effect • Giffin goods

  42. Determinants of Demand • Taste and preference of consumers • Income of people • Changes in prices of the related Goods • Complementary goods • Substitutes • The number of consumers in the market • Changes in propensity to consume • Consumption led growth • Savings led growth • Consumer expectation with regard to future price • Income distribution • Marginal propensity to consume for the rich is much lesser than the poor

  43. Contraction and extraction in demand • Increase and decrease in demand

  44. Demand function • Demand function • Supply function • Equilibrium

  45. Demand function • Qd= f ( P, I, p, T, A) • Considering price as the only independent variable • Qd= f ( P ) • Detremine Market demand function • Qa= 40- 2P • Qb= 34- .5p • Qc= 24.5-.3P • Demand function and supply function

  46. A market consists of three consumers whose individual demand functions are as follows. • P= 35-.5 Qa • P= 50- .25Qb • P= 40- 2 Qc Find out the market demand function. If the supply function is given by Qs= 40 +.5P, determine the equilibrium quantity and price

  47. So what should managers do? • Market share to wallet share

  48. Demand : Marshall’s cardinal utility • Utilities are measurable and quantifiable • Law of DMU • The additional benefit a person derives from a given increase of his stock of a thing diminishes with every increase in the stock that he already has

  49. Draw the graphs for Total utility and Marginal Utility

  50. Principles of equi-marginal utility • Consumer will distribute his money income between the goods in such a way that the utility derived from the last rupee spent on each good is equal • Marginal utility of money expenditure= marginal utility of the product/price
