Applies microeconomic frameworks - supply and demand, elasticity, marginal analysis, market structure, externalities - to a business decision and produces a recommendation with explicit assumptions and a sensitivity analysis showing which assumption flips the answer. Use when someone asks "what happens to revenue if we raise prices", "will profits in this market hold up", "how will competitors respond to this move", or needs the economic logic behind a pricing, entry, capacity, or regulation…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Economic Analysis

Economic reasoning makes the incentives and trade-offs behind a decision explicit - and shows which assumption the whole conclusion hangs on. The costly failure this skill prevents is the confident recommendation built on an unstated elasticity guess: small changes in that one number flip "raise prices" into "lose the market," and nobody notices until revenue does.

## Inputs to collect

1. **The decision**: the specific choice being made (raise price, enter market, add capacity, respond to a rival).
2. **The actors**: buyers, sellers, regulators - and who the analysis is for.
3. **The good or service** and its closest substitutes and complements.
4. **Market structure evidence**: number of competitors, differentiation, entry barriers.
5. **Any real data**: past price changes and volume responses, cost breakdowns, competitor prices. Real data beats framework defaults; where data is absent, state the assumed value and label it a guess.

## Operating procedure

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add skillmedev/skills/economic-analysis@sha256:3cdbee6060fe91fe

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.bea4ea5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
