Study Notes
Market Shifts and Aggregate Demand
- A shift from Da to Db in the market for potato chips could be caused by an announcement that potato chips cause cancer, or an increase in the price of a substitute good like pretzels.
- A decrease in income, assuming potato chips are a normal good, could also cause a shift.
- An increase in government spending, without a change in the price level, shifts aggregate demand to the right.
- A decrease in government expenditures or an increase in the price level shifts aggregate demand to the left.
Cross-Price Elasticity of Demand
- Cross-price elasticity of demand measures how the quantity demanded of one good changes in response to a change in the price of another good.
Income Elasticity of Demand
- Income elasticity of demand measures how responsive the quantity demanded of a good is to a change in income.
- Luxury goods (like diamonds) have a higher income elasticity of demand than necessary goods (like water).
Movement Along the Demand Curve
- A movement upward and to the left along the demand curve for olives is caused by a price increase for olives.
Supply and Equilibrium

Price Elasticity of Demand
- Price elasticity of demand refers to the responsiveness of consumers to a change in the price of a good.
Substitutes and Complements
- A decrease in the price of one good can decrease the quantity demanded of a substitute good, or increase the quantity demanded of a complementary good.
Law of Supply
- The law of supply states that a higher price for a good leads to a greater quantity supplied, all other things equal.
Demand Curve
- The movement along a given demand curve is only when quantity demanded changes due to a change in price, while all other determinants of quantity demanded are held constant.
Reserve Requirements and Open Market Operations
- Increasing reserve requirements decreases the money supply.
- Open market operations where the Fed sells bonds decrease the money supply.
The Discount Rate
- The discount rate is the interest rate the Fed charges banks.
The Federal Reserve
- The Federal Reserve is the central bank of the United States.
- It manages monetary policy.
Excess Supply
- When there is excess supply in a market, the actual price is above the equilibrium price; the quantity supplied is greater than the quantity demanded.
Shifts in Supply
- A shift from S to S'on a graph indicates a change in supply, either a decrease or increase.
Normal and Inferior Goods
- A good is considered normal if demand increases with an increase in income and inferior if demand decreases.
Interest Rates and Monetary Policy
