Description
In the second portion of this session, participants will dive into the fundamentals of supply and demand, exploring the forces that drive them and the ways in which they interact to determine market equilibrium, prices, and quantities. Finally, in the final segment, teachers will examine the various market structures that exist in the economy, such as perfect competition, monopoly, monopolistic competition, and oligopoly.
