The Tutor and Student reviewed key economic concepts related to risk and insurance, including consumption smoothing, deductibles, and expected utility. They worked through several quantitative problems, applying utility functions (square root and logarithmic) to calculate expected consumption and utility in various scenarios like insurance policies and Medicare. The Tutor assigned a practice problem for the Student to complete, focusing on calculating expected income, utility, and risk premium.

The Student and Tutor reviewed microeconomic principles such as the Slutsky equation, substitution and income effects, and labor supply. The session thoroughly covered the mechanics of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), analyzing its impact on effective wages, budget constraints, and labor supply decisions for different workers. The Tutor assigned reviewing the slides and questions as homework, with the next session planned to cover intertemporal budgeting.

The Student and Tutor discussed fundamental microeconomics concepts, including definitions of utility (cardinal and ordinal), marginal utility, and the Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility. They then explored indifference curves, their properties, and special shapes for different types of goods (bad goods, substitutes, and complements), concluding with an introduction to the Marginal Rate of Substitution and the Cobb-Douglas function. The session ended due to a technical issue that required reconnection.

Understanding the basics of economics
All about learning economics
Economics is a social science that explores how people and organizations produce, distribute, and consume goods. In the U.S., the demand for economics graduates is growing, with job opportunities expected to rise by 13%. This makes economics a popular degree choice, leading to careers as economists, market analysts, policy analysts, or financial managers.
However, many students face challenges when it comes to understanding complex economic models, interpreting data, or applying theories to real-world situations. Differentiating between macroeconomics and microeconomics can also be tricky.
To overcome these challenges, there are multiple options for you. Self-study, reading books, and exploring global case studies can help deepen your understanding. Online courses offer a structured approach and cover topics like Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, and mathematical models.
For personalized help, economics tutoring is a great option. It provides one-on-one guidance and clarity on tough topics like market structures, GDP, or even statistics and calculus. With the right approach, mastering economics becomes much easier!
