Economic Systems • Classifying economic systems • methods of classification • classification by degree of government control • command economies • free-market economies • mixed economies • other classifications • the informal economy • the not-for profit sector
Economic Systems • The command economy • features of a command economy • planning • consumption and investment • matching of inputs and outputs • distribution of output • Advantages of a command economy • high investment, high and stable growth • social goals pursued • low unemployment
Economic Systems • Problems of a command economy • problems of gathering information • expensive to administer • inefficient allocation of resources • inappropriate incentives • no system of prices • shortages and surpluses • lack of response to consumer demand
Economic Systems • The free-market economy • based on free decision making by individuals and firms • demand and supply decisions • the price mechanism • shortages and surpluses • shortage price rises • surplus price falls • equilibrium price • where demand equals supply • response to change in demand and supply
Economic Systems • Interdependence of markets • effect of a rise in demand • effect in market for that good
Sg Dg shortage (Dg > Sg) Pg Dg ¯ The price mechanism: the effect of a rise in demand Goods Market until Dg = Sg
Economic Systems • Interdependence of markets • effect of a rise in demand • effect in market for that good • effect in factor markets

Economic Systems • Interdependence of markets • effect of a rise in demand • effect in market for that good • effect in factor markets • effect in other goods markets • effect in other factor markets • Competitive markets
Economic Systems • Interdependence of markets • effect of a rise in demand • effect in market for that good • effect in factor markets • effect in other goods markets • effect in other factor markets • Competitive markets • perfectly competitive markets
Economic Systems • Interdependence of markets • effect of a rise in demand • effect in market for that good • effect in factor markets • effect in other goods markets • effect in other factor markets • Competitive markets • perfectly competitive markets • everyone is a price taker
Economic Systems • Interdependence of markets • effect of a rise in demand • effect in market for that good • effect in factor markets • effect in other goods markets • effect in other factor markets • Competitive markets • perfectly competitive markets • everyone is a price taker • why study perfect markets?
Demand • The relationship between demand and price • the income effect • the substitution effect • The demand curve • assumptions • the axes • illustrates how much would be demanded at each price

Demand • Other determinants of demand • tastes • number and price of substitute goods • number and price of complementary goods • income • distribution of income • expectations • Movements along and shifts in the demand curve
An increase in demand D1 P Price D0 O Q0 Q1 Quantity
Supply • Relationship between supply and price • as price rises, firms supply more • it is worth incurring the extra unit costs • they switch from less profitable goods • in the long run, new firms will be encouraged to enter the market • The supply curve • assumptions • the axes • illustrates how much would be supplied at each price
