Price: In economics, price refers to the monetary value assigned to goods, services, or assets in a market exchange. It represents the equilibrium point where supply and demand intersect, determining the quantity of a product traded. Prices convey information about scarcity, preferences, production costs, and market dynamics, influencing consumer behavior and resource allocation.

Microeconomics on Price - Dictionary of Arguments
Mause I 467 Price/Behavioural Control/Microeconomics: A basic microeconomic principle is that any relative price change has an impact on the consumption decisions of individual economic actors and triggers substitution processes. Example: Transport policy: If a road user has to pay a fee in addition to his time and operating costs for the use of a road section in a congestion-prone period (e.g. rush hour traffic), there is an incentive to switch to an alternative point in time, an alternative route or an alternative means of transport. The optimum amount of this additional charge corresponds exactly to the additional costs for all other road users caused by each additional road user on an overused road section (cf. Yan and Lam 1996, p. 319)(1). >Transport policy. 1. Yan, Hai, und William H. K. Lam. 1996. Optimal road tolls under conditions of queueing and congestion. Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice 30 (5): 319– 332._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
