Part A: Statistics for Economics (40 Marks)

In this course, the learners are expected to acquire skills in collection, organisation and presentation of quantitative and qualitative information pertaining to various simple economic aspects systematically. It also intends to provide some basic statistical tools to analyze, and interpret any economic information and draw appropriate inferences. In this process, the learners are also expected to understand the behavior of various economic data.

Unit 1: Introduction                        (07 Periods)                                                                                    

What is Economics?

Meaning, scope, functions, and importance of statistics in Economics

Unit 2: Collection, Organisation, and Presentation of data                       (27 Periods)                                                                   

Collection of data: sources of data - primary and secondary; how basic data is collected with concepts of Sampling; methods of collecting data; some important sources of secondary data: Census of India and National Sample Survey Organisation.

Organisation of Data: Meaning and types of variables; Frequency Distribution.

Presentation of Data: Tabular Presentation and Diagrammatic Presentation of Data:

(i) Geometric forms (bar diagrams and pie diagrams), (ii) Frequency diagrams (histogram, polygon, and Ogive) and (iii) Arithmetic line graphs (time series graph).

Unit 3:  Statistical Tools and Interpretation          (66 Periods)               

For all the numerical problems and solutions, the appropriate economic interpretation may be attempted. This means the students need to solve the problems and provide interpretation for the results derived.

Measures of Central Tendency: Arithmetic mean, median, and mode

Measures of Dispersion: absolute dispersion (range, quartile deviation, mean deviation, and standard deviation); relative dispersion (co-efficient of range, co-efficient of quartile-deviation, co-efficient of mean deviation, coefficient of variation)

Correlation:  meaning and properties, scatter diagram; Measures of correlation - Karl Pearson's method (two variables ungrouped data) Spearman's rank correlation.

Introduction to Index Numbers: meaning, types - wholesale price index, consumer price index, and index of industrial production, uses of index numbers; Inflation and index numbers.

                           Part B: Introductory Microeconomics (40 Marks)

Unit 4: Introduction                     (8 Periods)      

Meaning of microeconomics and macroeconomics; positive and normative economics

What is an economy? Central problems of an economy: what, how, and for whom to produce; concepts of production possibility frontier and opportunity cost.

Unit 5: Consumer's Equilibrium and Demand             (32 Periods)

 Consumer Equilibrium: Consumer's equilibrium - meaning of utility, marginal utility, the law of diminishing marginal utility, conditions of consumer's equilibrium using marginal utility analysis.

Indifference Curve Analysis: Indifference curve analysis of consumer's equilibrium-the consumer's budget (budget set and budget line), preferences of the consumer (indifference curve, indifference map) and conditions of consumer's equilibrium.

Demand and Elasticity of Demand: Demand, market demand, determinants of demand, demand schedule, demand curve, and its slope, movement along and shifts in the demand curve; price elasticity of demand - factors affecting price elasticity of demand; measurement of price elasticity of demand – percentage-change method.

Unit 6: Producer Behavior and Supply                  (32 Periods)

Production: Meaning of Production Function – Short-Run and Long-Run Total Product, Average Product and Marginal Product, Returns to a Factor

Cost: Short-run costs - total cost, total fixed cost, total variable cost; Average cost; Average fixed cost, average variable cost and marginal cost-meaning and their relationships.

Revenue: Total, average and marginal revenue - meaning and their relationship. Producer's equilibrium-meaning and its conditions in terms of marginal revenue- marginal cost.

Supply: Supply, market supply, determinants of supply, supply schedule, supply curve and its slope, movements along and shifts in supply curve, price elasticity of supply; measurement of price elasticity of supply - percentage-change method.

Unit 7: Forms of Market and Price Determination under Perfect Competition with simple applications              (28 Periods)

Market Forms: Perfect competition - Features; Determination of market equilibrium and effects of shifts in demand and supply. Other Market Forms - monopoly, monopolistic competition - their meaning and features.

Simple Applications of Demand and Supply: Price ceiling, price floor.

Part C: Project in Economics (20 Marks)

Guidelines as given in class XII curriculum                  (20 Periods)   

Note: Pls. Check out the Class XII syllabus for details about Project.

SHIFTS & ROTATIONS IN PRODUCTION POSSIBILITY CURVE

Image
    Learning Contents:                                                                Shifts   in   PPC  Rotations in PPC Change in Production Possibility Curve (Shifting/Rotation) The change in the Production Possibility curve can be of two types:  Shift in PPC: PPC will shift when there is a change in productive capacity (resources or technology) with respect to both the goods. Rotation of PPC: PPC will rotate when there is a change in productive capacity (resources or technology) with respect to only one good. Shifts in PPC:   The shift in PPC can either be rightward or backward. These shifts bring about a change in the production of both goods in an economy. The shifts in PPC are of two types: Rightward shift in PPC: Rightward shift in PPC occurs when the resources are increased or technology is improved for the production of both goods that means we can produce more of both the goods. Accordingly, PPC shifts to the right from Initial PPC (AB) to Final PPC (CD).   Re

Income Elasticity: Luxury Goods, Necessity Goods, and Inferior Goods.

Image
  Learning Contents:                                                               ·         Understanding Income Elasticity with respect of luxury goods, necessity goods and inferior goods. The demand for a commodity not only depends on the price of a commodity but also the income level of the consumer. It is a general understanding that a consumer usually prefers to spend more when his income rises and less when his income falls. Sometimes, we might also experience a fall in the demand of certain goods and services even when income rises. Therefore, income elasticity varies with respect to different types of goods and services. The income elasticity measures the percentage change in quantity demanded as a result of percentage change in the income of the consumer. The formula of income elasticity of demand is, The income elasticity measures the demand’s sensitivity or responsiveness to the change in income.   In simple words, it measures to what extent demand changes as a result o

Introduction to Elasticity of Demand

Image
Learning Contents: ·          Concept of Demand and Elasticity of Demand ·          Various Concepts of Elasticity of Demand ·          Concept of Elastic and   Inelastic Demand   Concept of Demand and Elasticity of Demand The Law of demand explains that, keeping other factors constant, demand for a commodity is inversely related to its price. In other words, if the price for a commodity rises, the quantity demand decreases. On the other hand, if price falls, quantity demand increases. Therefore, the concept of demand focuses on the direction of change i.e. how demand changes due to a change in price. In simple words, it explains that demand either increases or decreases as a result of a change in price but it overlooks an important aspect i.e. degree of change in demand i.e. How much or to what extent demand changes due to change in price? The degree of change is explained by the elasticity of demand. Therefore,
