• Price determination in a competitive market
• Production, costs and revenue
• Competitive and concentrated markets
• The market mechanism, market failure and government intervention in markets
• The measurement of macroeconomic performance
• How the macroeconomy works: the circular flow of income, AD/AS analysis, and related concepts

• Macroeconomic policies and conflicts
• Individual economic decision making
• Perfect competition, imperfectly competitive markets and monopoly
• The labour market
