The case studies in Chapter 6 on rent controls, agricultural price supports, and tariffs are designed to provide practice in applying the tools of price determination and elasticity that are covered in Chapters 4 and 5. Subsequent chapters cover short- and long-run costs, perfect competition, monopolistic competition and oligopoly, factor pricing, factor mobility, labor markets, and government in the market economy. The final three chapters, on taxation, the gains from trade, and trade policy, expand on the basics of microeconomic analysis that are presented throughout the book by providing current illustrations of the relevance of economic theory to contemporary policy situations.
