Economics: How Changes in Prices Influence Market Behavior Through Demand, Supply and Decision-Making

Economics Price Elasticity Shaping Market Dynamics:

How Changes in Prices Influence Market Behavior Through Demand, Supply and Decision-Making.

Dive into the world where economics meets business strategy! Understand how elasticity influences the market forces of demand and supply and the crucial business decisions around pricing, revenue, sales forcasting, market share and more.

Discover how companies determine their price points and how policymakers set taxes on products or services. From micro to macro economics settings, elasticity is the key concept that governs these decisions.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

This comprehensive online course will guide you through the entire elasticity spectrum, from its role in economics to its impact on business strategies. We break down the concept of elasticity into three crucial chapters:

  1. Price Elasticity of Demand: Understand what Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) is, learn to calculate PED using two formulas, and explore the factors that affect PED and other demand elasticities.

  2. Price Elasticity of Supply: Discover what Price Elasticity of Supply (PES) is, learn to calculate PES using two formulas, and investigate the factors that impact PES.

  3. The Business Aspect of Price Elasticity: Delve into why businesses need to understand their products' or services' elasticity. Learn how Price Elasticity aids in sales forecasting, pricing, and non-pricing strategies. Understand the relationship between elasticity, total revenue, cost, tax incidence, and explore the business aspect of other price elasticities. You'll also get insights into the common mistakes managers make with price elasticity.

  4. Case Studies: Get access to articles and short case analyses on elasticity of various products and services.

As a bonus, we've included a comprehensive PDF notes document summarizing all the key points discussed in the course, alongside relevant articles.

Much gratitude to the teacher for preparing this course, and helping me learn about these concepts.

Here are my honest thoughts about this course:
- Concepts were clear and delivered in easy to digest byte sized nuggets.
- The structure was good and the teacher's pace is suitable even for non-native English speakers like myself.
- I am an engineer, and not an economist or a finance major, and so, this course has helped me in understanding the basic forces/factors that influence the price of goods in the market.
- The lifetime access from Udemy helps in case I need a quick recap of anything.

Cons:
There are no major cons, except for one small gripe. I had some difficulty in grasping certain words initially owing to how they were pronounced by the teacher. It took me a couple of videos to get used to them, and I think they will no longer be an issue if I learn more from this teacher as I am now used to them.

Important note to future learners/students: Please learn about the concepts surrounding Demand before you do this course. That will help you a lot in understanding and appreciating what you learn from this one.

Its basically a textbook refresher course which helps to understand the concepts of Price Elasticity which you basically can google it yourself. But I thought that the course was straight to the point, easy to follow and well structured. If only there were more insights on how companies go about setting their price and how do they measure time-to-time with real life examples, it would be perfect.
