You will learn how many programs and policies are designed to change how individuals and businesses interact in the market and you will gain the tools to identify them. Models of consumer choice and demand will guide you in thinking about how individual incentives change and what the likely impact will be of those changes.All people respond to changing market conditions, but the type and magnitude of those responses can be better understood through the economic model of consumer demand.  You will learn how business strategy can benefit from a strong appreciation of elasticity, determinants of demand and how consumers make decisions.
