  1. Lecture 6 : Examining Market Mechanics • Money prices and relative real prices • Influences on demand • Influences on supply • Prices and quantities determined by demand and supply • Why prices change • Work for the Week • Chapter 4 in both book and EIA

  2. Opportunity Cost and Price • Economic actions arise from scarcity, wants in excess of available resources. • Scarcity implies choices. • Choices are influenced by opportunity costs through substitution.

  3. Opportunity Cost and Relative Price • The ratio of one price to another is called a relative price. • A relative price is an opportunity cost. • We often measure prices relative to a price index, the average price of a basket of goods.

  4. Demand, Supply and Relative Prices • Demand and supply determine relative prices. • The word “price” means relative price. • If we predict a price will fall, we mean its price will fall relative to the average price of other goods and services. • All movements in price in the market analysis that we examine refers torelative price movements. • Relative Price is not “Money” Price.

  6. Demand • If a person demands something, they • Want it, • Can afford it, and • Have made a definite plan to buy it. • Wants are the unlimited desires or wishes that people have for goods and services.

  7. Demand • The quantity demanded of a good or service is the amount that consumers plan to buy during a given time period at a particular price.

  8. Demand • What determines buying plans? • The price of the good • The prices of related goods • Income • Population • Preferences • Expected future prices

  9. Demand • The Law of Demand • Other things remaining the same, the higher the price of a good, the smaller is the quantity demanded. • Reasons for the Law of Demand • Substitution Effect • Income Effect

  10. Demand • Demand Curve and Demand Schedule • Demand curves show the relationship between the quantity demanded of a good and its price (ceteris paribus). • Demand schedules list the quantities demanded at each different price (ceteris paribus).

  11. Demand a 1 9 b 2 6 c 3 4 d 4 3 e 5 2 Price Quantity (dollars per tape) (millions of tapes per week)

  12. Demand 6 5 Price (dollar per tape) 4 3 2 1 0 2 4 6 8 10 Quantity (millions of tapes per week)

  13. Demand 6 e 5 Price (dollar per tape) d 4 c 3 b 2 a 1 0 2 4 6 8 10 Quantity (millions of tapes per week)

  14. Demand 6 e 5 Price (dollar per tape) d 4 c 3 b 2 Demand for tapes a 1 0 2 4 6 8 10 Quantity (millions of tapes per week)

  15. Demand • A Change in Demand • When any factor that influences buying plans other than the price of the good changes, there is a change in demand. • An increase in demand causes the demand curve to shift rightward. • A decrease in demand causes the demand curve to shift leftward.

  16. A Change in Demand • Price of Related Goods • Substitutes - goods used in the place of another good • Complements - goods used in conjunction with another good What Happens to Demand if the price of a substitute good increases? A complement?

  17. A Change in Demand • Income • Normal Goods — demand increases as income increases • Inferior Goods — demand decreases as income increases

  18. A Change in Demand • Population • Size and age structure • Preferences • Attitudes toward goods and services • Expected Future Prices

  19. Demand Original demand schedule New demand schedule Walkman $200 Walkman $50 Price Quantity Price Quantity (dollars (millions of tapes (dollars (millions of tapes per tape) per week) per tape) per week)) a 1 9 b 2 6 c 3 4 d 4 3 e 5 2 Assume the original price of Walkmans is $200. The demand schedule shows the Price-Quantity relationship for tapes.

  24. The Demand for Tapes • The Law of Demand • The quantity of tapes demanded • Decreases if: • The price of a tape rises • Increases if: • The price of a tape falls

  25. The Demand for Tapes • Changes In Demand • The demand for tapes • Decreases if: • The price of a substitute falls • The price of a complement rises • Income falls (a tape is a normal good) • The population decreases • The price of a tape is expected to fall in the future

  26. The Demand for Tapes • Changes In Demand • The demand for tapes • Increases if: • The price of a substitute rises • The price of a complement falls • Income rises (a tape is a normal good) • The population increases • The price of a tape is expected to rise in the future

  27. A Change in the Quantity Demanded Versus a Change in Demand • A movement along a demand curve, which results from a change in price, shows a change in the quantity demanded. • If some other influence on buyers’ plans changes, holding price constant, there is a change in demand.

  37. Movement Along Versus a Shift of the Demand Curve • If the price of a good changes but everything else remains the same, there is a movement along the demand curve. • If the price of a good remains constant but some other influence on buyers’ plans changes, there is a shift of the demand curve.

  38. A Change in Quantity Demanded Versus a Change in Demand • A movement along the demand curve shows a change in the quantity demanded. • A shift of the demand curve shows a change in demand.
