Microeconomics is a fundamental method for analyzing the economy as a system. It treats households and firms interacting through individual markets as irreducible elements of the economy, given scarcity and government regulation. In microeconomics, production is the conversion of inputs into outputs. It is an economic process that uses inputs to create a commodity for exchange or direct use. Opportunity cost refers to the economic cost of production: the value of the next best opportunity foregone. Economic efficiency describes how well a system generates desired output with a given set of inputs and available technology. This book studies microeconomics including monopoly, factors of production, scarcity, and economies of scale.
