Learn About The Subject

AP Microeconomics analyzes how individuals and businesses make decisions under conditions of scarce resources and how these decisions interact in specific markets. The course explores principles of supply and demand, theories of consumer and firm behavior, different market structures, factor markets, and the role of government. Students will develop the ability to analyze economic behavior and predict market outcomes.

Common Challenges When Learning IGCSE Business Studies

Difficulty in applying Marginal Analysis thinking: Needing to understand and proficiently apply the concepts of marginal cost and marginal benefit to explain decisions.
Challenge with analyzing diverse graphs: Requiring accurate interpretation of many types of complex graphs related to supply-demand, costs, revenues, and market types.
Barrier in distinguishing market structures: Needing to master the characteristics, behaviors, and consequences of different market forms (perfect competition, monopoly, etc.).
Obstacle with analyzing market failures & interventions: Requiring a clear understanding of causes (externalities, public goods, etc.) and evaluation of government intervention measures.
