Managerial economics looks at the economics of decisions facing and impinging upon managers, the central decision makers in firms. This includes a discussion of the nature of the firm and looking at relationships between managers and owners and between managers and other employees. Consideration will be given to the nature of decision-making in different market structures and how a manager is constrained by the market structure in which the firm operates. We will discuss pricing strategies in different contexts and also look at some economics of information as it relates to managerial decision making.
