Microeconomics is important for all of us to understand the practical workings of the economy. From
consumers to business firms and governments, the principles of microeconomics are utilized at every
level. It gives insight on the conditions of economic welfare where you will understand a variety of key
concepts such as consumer choice and behavior, goods and services, labor markets, and most
importantly the standard of living and condition of welfare of those people and what factors determine
that welfare. Learning microeconomics is a great way to gain an understanding of many factors that
affect us in the real-world such as income inequality, product pricing, and much more. Ultimately,
learning microeconomics is key in learning about the principles of economics- how economies function
and why they are the way they are.

Economics also looks at many relations between variables: prices and quantities, revenues and elasticity,
output and inflation, productivity and aggregate growth, education and salaries, trade and exchange
rates, etc. The relationships between two variables studied in economics in many instances arise out of a
chain of relationships of more than two variables and connecting the dots is an important process in
understanding economics. In this process, the economics major develops a trained eye to understand
complex relationships and find new relationships to explore.

This approach of economics helps us study and understand the practical working of the economy. The
entire economy is complex and complicated for a layman to analyze. However, microeconomics
facilitates easy comprehension of the economic system.

It provides the required tools that enable the formulation of various economic policies. It also provides
techniques that facilitate the easy formulation of economic strategies and economic regulations.

Microeconomics is of great help when it comes to studying the conditions of economic welfare. With the
help of this branch of economics, we now understand the standard of living and the condition of welfare
of the people. We can not only study their condition of welfare but we can also analyse the factors that
determine their welfare as well.

This branch of economics helps us understand the level of satisfaction of the people in the economy.

It also helps economists identify the allocation of resources within the economy. Not only is it useful in
efficiently allocating the scarce resources to productive uses but it also helps control the use of the
allocated resources as well.

Economic theories and economic policies are very different. Economic theories help prove a particular
hypothesis or condition in the market (in this case, the micro market). But economic policies help in
governing the smooth functioning of the economy. Hence, economic theories can be easily drafted and
formulated with the help of this branch of modern economics.

Taxes are an important source of income for a country. There have been incidents of disturbances
within economies due to taxation policies. Hence, a well-planned and a well-developed taxation policy is
crucial for an economy. Microeconomics ensures to understand the implications and problems of
taxation and formulate suitable taxation policies.
