Using demand and supply analysis to identify different product types

Demand and supply are key concepts used throughout economic analysis. Here, Caroline Elliott and Jon Guest focus on demand and supply in a microeconomic context

In microeconomics we consider the demand for and supply of individual products and services. In this article, we will review the basics of demand and supply analysis and see how demand analysis helps us identify different types of products.
