Supply and Demand Simulation Supply and Demand Simulation During this simulation‚ many scenarios covered an understanding of demand and supply‚ equilibrium‚ shifts in demand and supply‚ and price ceiling that a monopoly had to face when different situations arose. I was able to understand the concept of microeconomics and macroeconomics with the scenarios the simulation provided. During the simulation with regards to microeconomics‚ GoodLife is what is considered as an individual choice and

discrimination Price discrimination can only occur if certain conditions are met. 1. The firm must be able to identify different market segments‚ such as domestic users and industrial users. 2. Different segments must have different price elasticities (PEDs). 3. Markets must be kept separate‚ either by time‚ physical distance and nature of use‚ such as Microsoft Office ‘Schools’ edition which is only available to educational institutions‚ at a lower price. 4. There must be no seepage

CASE STUDY ON INDIAN RAILWAYS (MONOPOLY) In economics‚ a monopoly (from the Latin word monopolium – Greek language monos‚ one + polein‚ to sell) is defined as a persistent market situation where there is only one provider of a product or service. Monopolies are characterized by a lack of economic competition for the good or service that they provide and a lack of viable substitute goods. Monopoly should be distinguished from monopsony‚ in which there is only one buyer of the product or service;
