Lecture 02 - Applying Supply and Demand |
You may not realize it, but every time you purchase something, you are participating in a market for that good. Some people supply it, and some people - you! - demand it. In this lecture, we will examine how to analyze supply and demand curves and the impact changes in market conditions and government policy can have on market equilibrium.
