What is studying platform? Explain this term in brief.
Studying Platform:
A studying platform into modern economics comprises some basic economic principles or theories. This gives a basis for extending the existing theories and analyzing deeply economic issues. Illustrations of studying platforms are as:
a. Producer and consumer theories give a bedrock platform for studying individuals’ independent decision choices.
b. The common equilibrium theory is based onto the theories of consumers and producers and is an upper level platform. This provides an origin for studying interactions of individuals into a market institution and how the market equilibrium is reached within each market.
c. The mechanism design theory gives an even higher level of studying platform and can be utilized to study or design an economic institution. This can be used to compare different economic institutions or mechanisms, and also to identify that one may be an “optima”.
