Chapter 15 - Resource markets

Economic Resources Rent, wages, and interest are
determined in the markets for land, labor, and capital.
Entrepreneurs, though, are residual claimants who receive profits, the revenue that is left over after all other factors of production have been paid.

Circular flow
The demand for resources is a “derived demand.”
Households are the source of supply and firms are the source of demand in resource markets.

Equilibrium in resource markets

Resource demand Price elasticity of resource
demand:

Determinants of price elasticity of resource demand The price elasticity of demand for a
resource is expected to be higher when: the price elasticity of demand for the
final product is relatively high this resource accounts for a large share
of the firm’s total costs there are close substitutes for the
resource, and a longer time period is considered.

Determinants of resource demand The demand for a resource will increase
when: the price of the final product rises the productivity of the resource rises the number of buyers increases the price of a substitute resource rises the price of a complementary resource
declines, and/or the firm possesses high levels of other
resources.

Market supply The price elasticity of supply of a
resource is defined as:

Determinants of supply elasticity The price elasticity of supply is
greater when: there are many alternative uses of
the resource, and/or a longer time period is considered.

Economic Rent
The earnings of a resource available in perfectly inelastic supply is called “economic rent.”
![Page 12: Micro Economy Chap15](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/55848e10d8b42a9f028b5412/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Transfer earnings
The earnings of a resource available in perfectly elastic supply are called “transfer earnings.”
![Page 13: Micro Economy Chap15](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/55848e10d8b42a9f028b5412/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Upward sloping resource supply curve
A resource that has an upward sloping resource supply curve receives a mix of transfer earnings and economic rent

Price floor

Price ceiling

Individual firm’s demand for a resource A firm will hire an additional unit of
a resource only if this increases the firm’s profits.
Economic profit = total revenue – total cost
![Page 17: Micro Economy Chap15](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/55848e10d8b42a9f028b5412/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Optimal level of resource use Marginal revenue product (MRP) =
additional revenue associated with the use of an additional unit of a resource
Marginal factor cost (MFC) = additional cost associated with the use of an additional unit of a resource
Increase resource use if MRP > MFC Decrease resource use if MRP < MFC Optimal level of resource use: MRP =
MFC

Marginal revenue product MRP = MR x MPP If the output market is perfectly
competitive MR = P, so MRP = P x MPP (in this case, a MRP curve is sometimes called a VMP curve = “value of the marginal product”)
![Page 19: Micro Economy Chap15](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/55848e10d8b42a9f028b5412/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
MRP curve
MRP curve is downward sloping due to law of diminishing returns.
If the output market is imperfectly competitive MR also declines as resource use rises, contributing to the negative slope of the MRP curve.

Perfectly competitive resource market
Note that resource price = MFC in this case.

Monopsony resource market

Multiple resources A cost-minimizing firm selects a
mix of resources at which the ratio of the MRP to the MFC is the same for all resources.
