Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Mathematics - Applied Mathematics, grade: 2, Leipzig International School, language: English, abstract: I have chosen to focus my mathematical exploration on applications of Calculus in Business situations. To begin with, I was looking for an interesting real life situation I could base my investigation on. Having lived in an economically well developed country like Germany for almost my whole life, the accessibility to a wide range of products and their varying appeal to the consumer are subconsciously part of my daily life. The fact that some products are enormously demanded by society whereas others aren‘t that successful on the market gave me the idea to investigate how demand is influenced by outside factors. Thereby I discovered the concept of Price Elasticity of Demand which is useful in indicating the responsiveness of the demand of a certain good to a change in its price. I thus decided to explore the different levels of Price Elasticity of demand, namely elastic, inelastic and unit elasticity, and their effect on revenue by means of both an exponential and a quadratic demand function. Finally I applied the acquired knowledge to a highly demanded and very popular product in Germany, which is coffee, and modeled its change in demand dependent on varying prices as well as outside factors such as brand loyalty and income.

The author places a significant emphasis on the development and practical application of formulas so that students have a deeper understanding of their interpretation and application of data. Problems and exercises are largely centered on business topics, though other applications are provided in order to increase relevance and showcase the critical role of statistics in a number of fields and real-world contexts. The second edition retains the organization of the original text. Based on extensive feedback from adopters and students, the revision focused on improving currency and relevance, particularly in examples and problems. This is an adaptation of Introductory Business Statistics 2e by OpenStax. You can access the textbook as pdf for free at openstax.org.

This book focuses on marketing graphics, figures, and visual artifacts discussed in marketing theory in order to explain and discuss the marketing concepts visually and open a door to future predictions of the evolution of such marketing concepts. Marketing concepts are, by nature, abstract and there is a need for approaches that provide a clear picture of such concepts and concrete and hands-on knowledge tools to students, scholars, and practitioners. Furthermore, the recent rising importance and popularity of marketing metrics make visualization of such important marketing phenomena possible. Visualizing or concretizing of marketing data is more important than ever as the usage and presentation of such enormous amounts of data requires visual representation. Thus, the book provides collection of such marketing visualization examples that can help marketing scholars and students to make sense of marketing concepts and their data, so that they can develop clearer and winning marketing strategies.

Lionel Robbins, Professor of Economics at the London School of Economics, 1929-61, was the foremost British economist of his generation as well as being an influential public figure. Although he wrote many articles and books on economic theory, on contemporary issues of economic policy and in the history of economics, many of his academic articles, especially his early ones, have not been reprinted. This volume contains a selection of his major and most influential articles, in theory, policy and history.

This book is a self-contained treatment of all the mathematics needed by undergraduate and masters-level students of economics, econometrics and finance. Building up gently from a very low level, the authors provide a clear, systematic coverage of calculus and matrix algebra. The second half of the book gives a thorough account of probability, dynamics and static and dynamic optimisation. The last four chapters are an accessible introduction to the rigorous mathematical analysis used in graduate-level economics. The emphasis throughout is on intuitive argument and problem-solving. All methods are illustrated by examples, exercises and problems selected from central areas of modern economic analysis. The book's careful arrangement in short chapters enables it to be used in a variety of course formats for students with or without prior knowledge of calculus, for reference and for self-study. The preface to the new edition and full table of contents are available from https://www.manchesterhive.com/page/mathematics-for-economists-supplementary-materials

Economics: Private and Public Choice is an aid for students and general readers to develop a sound economic reasoning. The book discusses several ways to economic thinking including six guideposts as follows: (i) scarce goods have costs; (ii) Decision-makers economize in their choices; (iii) Incentives are important; (iv) Decision-makers are dependent on information scarcity; (v) Economic actions can have secondary effects; and (vi) Economic thinking is scientific. The book explains the Keynesian view of money, employment, and inflation, as well as the monetarist view on the proper macropolicy, business cycle, and inflation. The book also discusses consumer decision making, the elasticity of demand, and how income influences demand. The text analyzes costs and producer decisions, the firm under pure competition, and how a competitive model functions. The book explains monopoly, and also considers the high barriers that prevent entry such as legal barriers, economies of scale, and control over important resources. The author also presents comparative economic systems such as capitalism and socialism. This book can prove useful for students and professors in economics, as well as general readers whose works are related to public service and planning in the area of economic development.

A classic treatise that defined the field of applied demand analysis, Consumer Demand in the United States: Prices, Income, and Consumption Behavior is now fully updated and expanded for a new generation. Consumption expenditures by households in the United States account for about 70% of America’s GDP. The primary focus in this book is on how households adjust these expenditures in response to changes in price and income. Econometric estimates of price and income elasticities are obtained for an exhaustive array of goods and services using data from surveys conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and aggregate consumption expenditures from the National Income and Product Accounts, providing a better understanding of consumer demand. Practical models for forecasting future price and income elasticities are also demonstrated. Fully revised with over a dozen new chapters and appendices, the book revisits the original Houthakker-Taylor models while examining new material as well, such as the use of quantile regression and the stationarity of consumer preference. It also explores the emerging connection between neuroscience and consumer behavior, integrating the economic literature on demand theory with psychology literature. The most comprehensive treatment of the topic to date, this volume will be an essential resource for any researcher, student or professional economist working on consumer behavior or demand theory, as well as investors and policymakers concerned with the impact of economic fluctuations.
