    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

    • At a price of $35, according to Figure 4-7, there is a surplus of 200 units.

    Fiscal Policy

    • Fiscal policy affects the economy in both the short and long run.
    • It shows the relationship between price and quantity demanded in a table.

    Monetary Policy

    • Monetary policy affects the economy with a significant time lag, partly because changing policies must go through review processes.

    The Multiplier Effect

    • The multiplier effect describes how spending by one person can lead to additional money being spent by others in the economy.

    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

    • Monetary policy, by altering interest rates, influences the economy's overall performance.
