  1. Chapter 3 Demand and Supply

    Huanren (Warren) Zhang
  2. Law of demand Demand = quantity of a good a consumer is willing and able to purchase at various prices Law of demand = quantity demanded (Qd) and price (P) are inversely related
  3. Change in the quantity demanded movement from one point to another point on the same demand curve (no shift) Decrease in quantity demanded Increase in quantity demanded B A A B
  4. Change in demand Shift of the entire demand curve
  5. Factors causing changes in demand 1. Income Normal goods vs. Inferior goods 2. Prices of related goods Substitutes vs. Complements 3. Expectations 4. # of buyers 5. Tastes and preferences
  6. Law of Supply Supply = maximum quantity a seller is willing and able to sell at various prices Law of supply = Price (P) and quantity supplied (Qs) are directly related
  7. Change in the quantity supplied: movement from one point to another point on the same supply curve (no shift) Change in supply: Shift of the entire supply curve
  8. Change in supply Decrease in supply Increase in supply
  9. Factors causing changes in supply 1. Input prices 2. Price of related goods in production Substitutes vs. Complements in production 3. Expectations 4. # of sellers 5. Technology
  10. Market Equilibrium Equilibrium in a market occurs when the price balances the plans of buyers and sellers. When price is greater than equilibrium price, the quantity supplied exceeds the quantity demanded => there is a surplus and a downward pressure on price When price is less than equilibrium price, the quantity demanded exceeds the quantity supplied => there is a shortage and a upward pressure on price
  11. Market equilibrium Equilibrium price =_____ Equilibrium quantity= _____
  12. Market equilibrium Equilibrium price = $6 Equilibrium quantity= 20 At P=$4, there is a ____ (surplus/shortage), causing a ____ (increase/decrease) in price At P=$8, there is a ____ (surplus/shortage), causing a ____ (increase/decrease) in price
  13. Market equilibrium Equilibrium price = $6 Equilibrium quantity= 20 At P=$4, there is a shortage, causing a increasein price At P=$8, there is a surplus, causing a decreasein price
  14. Changes in equilibrium Changes (shifts) in demand Changes (shifts) in supply Changes (shifts) in both demand and supply
  15. Changes in demand ↑ D→ ↑ P and ↑Q ↓D → ↓P and ↓ Q
  16. Changes in demand How does an increase in income affect the market for cars (considered as normal goods)?
  17. Changes in supply ↑ S → ↓ P and ↑Q ↓ S → ↑P and ↓ Q
  18. Changes in supply How does an decrease in the price of steel (an input for producing cars) affect the market for cars?
  19. Simultaneous shifts in demand and supply Increase in wages paid to auto workers has raised incomes Decrease S and increase D Decrease in S → ↑ P and ↓ Q Increase in D → ↑ P and ↑ Q Price rises but change in Q in indeterminate
  20. Simultaneous shifts in demand and supply Anytime both D & S shift, one component of equilibrium will always be indeterminate
