Class 11 Economics introduces students to the basic principles of economics and their application in real-world scenarios. The subject is divided into two parts: Microeconomics and Macroeconomics. Here's a detailed breakdown of the key concepts covered in the Class 11 Economics syllabus:
Microeconomics (Part 1)
-
Introduction to Economics
- Economics: The study of how people manage their limited resources to satisfy their unlimited wants.
- Microeconomics: Focuses on the behavior of individual economic agents (like consumers, firms, and workers) and how their decisions affect the supply and demand for goods and services.
-
Consumer's Equilibrium and Demand
- Utility: The satisfaction or pleasure derived from consuming goods and services.
- Total Utility: The total satisfaction received from consuming a given amount of goods or services.
- Marginal Utility: The additional satisfaction gained from consuming one more unit of a good or service.
- Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility: As a person consumes more units of a good, the marginal utility of each additional unit decreases.
- Consumer Equilibrium: The point at which a consumer maximizes utility, given their budget constraint (usually achieved when the ratio of marginal utility to price is the same for all goods).
- Demand: The quantity of a good or service that a consumer is willing and able to buy at different prices.
- Law of Demand: As the price of a good increases, the quantity demanded decreases, ceteris paribus (and vice versa).
- Determinants of Demand: Income, prices of related goods (substitutes and complements), tastes and preferences, expectations, etc.
- Elasticity of Demand: The responsiveness of quantity demanded to a change in price or other factors.
- Price Elasticity of Demand (PED): The percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price.
- Income Elasticity of Demand (YED): The percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in income.
- Cross Elasticity of Demand (XED): The percentage change in quantity demanded of one good due to a change in the price of another good.
-
Producer's Equilibrium and Supply
- Production Function: The relationship between the inputs used in production and the resulting output.
- Law of Diminishing Returns: As more units of a variable input are added to fixed inputs, the marginal product of the variable input eventually decreases.
- Cost Concepts:

- Variable Costs: Costs that change with the level of output.
- Total Cost (TC): The sum of fixed and variable costs.
- Marginal Cost (MC): The cost of producing one more unit of output.
- Average Cost (AC): Total cost divided by the number of units produced.
- Producer's Equilibrium: The point where a producer maximizes profit, which occurs when Marginal Cost (MC) = Marginal Revenue (MR).
- Supply: The quantity of a good or service that producers are willing to sell at different prices.
- Law of Supply: As the price of a good increases, the quantity supplied increases, ceteris paribus (and vice versa).
-
Forms of Market and Price Determination
- Perfect Competition: A market structure where there are many buyers and sellers, homogeneous products, and no barriers to entry or exit. In this market, price is determined by demand and supply.
- Monopoly: A market structure where a single producer controls the entire supply of a product with no close substitutes.
- Monopolistic Competition: A market structure characterized by many firms selling differentiated products, with some degree of market power.
- Oligopoly: A market structure in which a few large firms dominate the market, and their decisions affect each other.
- Price Determination: The interaction of demand and supply determines the equilibrium price and quantity in a market.
-
Theory of Factor Pricing
- Factors of Production: The resources used to produce goods and services—land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship.
