Talk:Microeconomics

message: The term "average total cost" is vague and ambiguous.  Does total cost mean the total cost of production?  If so what is it averaged over?  Does total cost refer to the cost to produce a single unit of output?  If so why not just call it cost?  And why not talk about the average cost to produce a unit of output?
What the article means is average cost =Total cost/quantity produced Lbertolotti (talk) 18:38, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

message: The statement is a bias in favor of unplanned economy. The set of choises just showes people buy what they can afford and price things at what they can afford. It is not necessarily the "happiest" set of choices. Both supply side and demand side could still be starving.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.3.117.129 (talk) 07:23, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

message: In the Assumptions & Definitions section, it is stated (without explanation) that an actor's preferences are a metric space. However, as I understand both preferences and metric spaces, this seems to be incorrect. A metric space not only allows comparison between any two points, but it also has a "metric" that can associate a scalar magnitude to any point...e.g., with a metric space, you can not only say that "she prefers apples to oranges", but you can say "she prefers 1.6 apples to one orange" -- which may not necessarily be possible; as I understand it, this is the point of the distinction between "ordinal" and "cardinal" utility.

message: "(from Greek prefix mikro- meaning "small" + economics)"
is this really necessary? one would think that was already implied, and this isn't even close to a proper etymology
