Study Notes
Demand Changes
- A change in price leads to a movement along a demand curve, termed as a change in quantity demanded.
- Demand curve shifts can occur due to factors like consumer preferences, incomes, and the number of buyers, but not price changes of the product itself.
Supply Changes
- The supply curve remains unchanged unless influenced by factors such as production costs or technology.
- An increase in the current price of the product does not shift the supply curve.
Equilibrium Price and Quantity
- A rise in component prices (e.g., processor price for iPhones) typically results in higher equilibrium prices but lower equilibrium quantity sold.
- Other factors influencing equilibrium include the prices of substitute goods and consumer income.
Ticket Pricing Dynamics
- In a market with unsold tickets, prices may fall as demand diminishes close to the event.
- High resale values indicate high demand, but prices can also adjust downward.
Law of Demand Exceptions
- The Law of Demand states as price increases, quantity demanded typically decreases; however, luxury goods can exhibit different behaviors, such as increased demand with higher prices, called superior goods.
Goods Classification
- Video games become a normal good when demand decreases due to reduced income.
- Substitutes and complements play crucial roles in defining consumer behavior related to changes in price.
Market Reactions to Future Expectations
- Anticipation of rising prices leads suppliers to reduce current supply to maximize future profits.
Interconnected Goods
- If one good's price rises (e.g., alcohol), demand for its substitute (e.g., marijuana) will likely increase.
Peanut Butter Market Dynamics
- Rising input costs for peanut butter (like peanuts) lead to higher equilibrium prices, but a fall in equilibrium quantity.
- Changes in related goods' prices (substitutes or complements) also affect the equilibrium of the primary product.
