responsibilities.

Objective: The students in the earlier semester have been exposed to the basic
microeconomics/business economics. It is the objective of this paper to take the process forward and
make use of the concepts learnt to analyze policy measures and taxation. The students will also be
exposed to certain pricing practices as well as the theories of distribution. It is also the objective of
the course to involve the students in project work to link theory with actual experience.
Unit 1
Concept and applications of Consumers’ and Producers’ Surplus Meaning of consumers’ and producers’
surplus in the context of demand and supply curves. Incidence of taxes and subsidies on consumers’ and
producers’ surplus and pass through formulae. Impact on consumers’ and Producer’s surplus of measures to
control monopoly power.
Unit 2
Advanced Pricing Techniques 1.Third degree price discrimination. (Application: Indian railways tatkal
scheme). 2 Mark-up pricing. (Project: investigate the size of markup of fast moving consumer goods and
durable goods and contrasting them. An indication can be obtained by bargaining and seeing what sort of
discounts can be obtained and then calculating the extent of the discount as a percentage of the quoted
price). 3. Sales/revenue maximization (without advertisement) and under profit maximization. (Project:
interview marketing executives/ salesmen of companies on their sales objectives, and how they view the
relative size of their companies in terms of sales) 4.Transfer pricing of intermediate products.
Unit 3
Marginal Productivity Theory of Wages. The demand for labour in the short period under perfect
competition in the product market (with labour being the only variable factor), for a single firm. Obtaining
the market demand curve. Supply of an individual’s labour and the market supply of labour. Determination
of wage rates in a perfectly competitive labour Market. Project: What happens to wage rates if the number
of employers increases? Harder projects: What happens to wage rates if the desire for leisure increases.
What happens to supply of labour if the wage rates in your district/area were to become greater than the
wage rates in surrounding wage rates or the wage rates become lower than in surrounding districts/areas.
Unit 4
Rent and Interest: Distinction between and rental (rent in everyday usage) and economic rent. The concept
of transfer earnings and rent. Elasticity of supply and transfer earning and rent. Element of rent in the
earnings of any factor. Problems: rent in the earnings of Virat Kohli, Deepika Padukone, Shah Rukh Khan
and similar examples from every day life. Real and nominal rates of interest. Intertemporal consumption
and interest. Production and interest. Project find the rates of interest offered by banks on one year fixed
deposits, and calculate the real rate of interest by subtracting the rate of inflation. (Assume that the current
rate of inflation shall continue to hold in the year to follow)
Project work is to be done after each topic that is taught. Projects should involve teamwork. However,
there is a tendency for a minority of students to do the work and the majority of the students to avoid doing
any work and merely add their names to get credit. It is possible to overcome this by assigning specific
responsibilities.
