QuestionsQuestions
All economies must answer the following questions:What should be produced?How should it be produced?For whom will it be produced?

MarketsMarkets
A market for any good consists of all buyers and sellers of that goodIncludes individuals who either do sell or
might sell = suppliers (usually firms)Includes individuals who either do buy or
might buy = demanders (usually people)

PricesPricesWhy are some goods cheap and others
expensive?Through most of history, individuals had no ideaMost thought that it was because of the cost of
productionOthers thought only of the value people received
from consumption
Answer: both supply and demand determine prices

SupplySupply
Shows the quantity of a good or service that sellers wish to sell at each priceOn a graph = supply curveIn a schedule = supply schedule
Positive relationship between P and QS
As price rises, a higher quantity can be sold because more opportunity costs can be covered
Application of the “low-hanging fruit principle”Reflects the rising marginal costs of producing
additional units

DemandDemandShows the total quantity of a good or service
that buyers wish to buy at each priceOn a graph = demand curveIn a schedule = demand schedule
Inverse relationship between P and QD
As price rises, consumers want fewer itemsPeople switch to substitutesPeople cannot afford as much
At higher quantities, consumers are willing to pay less (application of the principle of diminishing marginal utility/benefit)

Market EquilibriumMarket Equilibrium
When all buyers and sellers are satisfied with their respective quantities at the market priceThere is a stable, balanced, unchanging situationThe supply and demand curves intersectThis results in the equilibrium price
The price the good sells for
This results in the equilibrium quantityThe quantity that will be sold

Do markets really exist in equilibrium?
Do markets really exist in equilibrium?
What would be evidence that a particular market is in equilibrium? Stable pricesStable quantities
Can you name a good for which price has not changed in a long time?
Can you name a good for which price changes daily?
Can you name a good for which price changes every second?

Does equilibrium mean all wants are satisfied ?
Does equilibrium mean all wants are satisfied ?
Market equilibrium does not mean that everyone has what they wantE.G. a poor person may not be able to
afford the item at the equilibrium price

Free Markets and Equilibrium
Free Markets and Equilibrium
Free markets have an automatic tendency to eliminate excess supply and excess demandA market surplus serves as a signal to
sellers that price is too high and therefore leads producers to decrease the price
A market shortage serves as a signal to sellers that price is too low and therefore leads producers to increase the price

consumers by using price controlsPrice ceilingsPrice floors

22
Price controlsPrice controls
price ceilings – intended to help consumers A maximum allowable price specified by law
because the true equilibrium price was deemed “too high”
Price ceiling price < P* so now consumers want too much
e.g. rent controls, limits on the price of gasolineResult in permanent shortages

Price ControlsPrice Controls
price floors – intended to help producersA minimum allowable price specified by
lawFor example, agricultural price supports,
minimum wagesPrice floor price is > P* so now sellers
want to sell moreResult in surpluses

Markets and Social WelfareMarkets and Social WelfareSocial optimal quantity of a good
The quantity that results in the maximum possible economic surplus (net gains)
The socially optimal quantity will occur where the marginal cost equals the marginal benefit
Economic efficiencyOccurs when all goods and services are
produced and consumed at their respective socially optimal levels

Markets and EfficiencyMarkets and EfficiencyEfficiency Principle
Efficiency is an important social goalEveryone can have a larger slice of a larger pie
Equilibrium PrincipleA market in equilibrium leaves no unexploited
opportunities for individualsNo “cash on the table” remainsAll opportunities for profit have been exploited
Efficiency occurs whenthe market-demand curve captures all the marginal
benefits of the goodthe market-supply curve captures all the marginal costs
of the good

TerminologyTerminology
If the good’s price changes, you have a“change in quantity demanded”
A movement along the demand curve “change in quantity supplied”
A movement along the supply curve
If something else changes, you have a“change in demand”
A shift of the entire demand curvechange in supply”
A shift of the entire supply curve

An Increase in SupplyAn Increase in SupplySequence of events:
1. Conditions become more favorable to firms. Eg: lower cost of inputs
2. Firms now can earn higher per-unit profits at any price, so they wish to sell more units at all prices.
3. Firms increase Qs for all Prices = shift right in the supply curve (along demand).
4. Shift results in lower P* and higher Q*

An Increase in DemandAn Increase in DemandSequence of events:1. Conditions change such that consumers
want more units at any price. Egs: lower price of complement good, higher price of a substitute, higher income, …
2. Higher Qd at all prices means rightward shift in the demand curve
3. Demand shifts right (along supply) resulting in higher P* and Q*

Naturalist QuestionNaturalist QuestionWhy did you pay $60 for a Christmas tree in
2000 which only cost $40 in 1999? Assume: Inflation was not 50% The number of Christmas trees sold year to year in
the United States is fairly stable. It takes six to eight years to grow a tree to the right
size for Christmas trees. There are over 15,000 Christmas tree farms in the
US Recall: there were significant forest fires in the
northwest in 2000
