Material Detail

A classroom experiment that engages student interest in the concept of utility by conducting a real world experiment in the classroom in real time. The results are always interesting for students and drives home the basic concept of utility. This can be used as a basic application of utility or can be used as a primer before diving into some of the more technical applications of utility including marginal utility, total utility, and maximizing utility given prices, income and preferences.This activity is best presented the lecture before you will develop the topic in class. I like to do this between the topics of supply/demand and utility.
