Micro & Behavior
From personal choices to market order
Microeconomics starts with a single decision — what to buy, what to produce, at what price — and builds up to the order of whole markets. This branch covers how consumers choose under constraints, how firms produce and compete, how strategic players bargain, and why markets sometimes fail.
