N2  - Microeconomic theory is basically the study of how markets operate, and understanding how markets operate is essential to understanding how our economic system functions. Beyond developing a coherent view of economic reality, microeconomics provides techniques that are playing increasing roles in both public policy formulation and private decision-making. Although macroeconomic issues frequently receive more visible media attention, the ways that innumerable microeconomic issues are resolved have a far greater and more enduring impact in shaping our economic environment
