    Study Notes

    Price Determination and Market Equilibrium

    • The best price is the one where quantity supplied equals quantity demanded.
    • This price maximizes the combined welfare of buyers and sellers.
    • It minimizes buyer expenditure and seller costs are maximized.

    Producer Surplus at a Specific Price

    • At a price of P2, producer surplus is represented by area A + C in the graph.

    Changes in Producer Surplus

    • When price falls from P2 to P1, producer surplus decreases by the area A + B.
    • An increase in demand with constant supply results in an increase in consumer surplus

    Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

    • Measures both income and expenditure
    • Includes goods and services.

    Recessions

    • A recession is a period of declining real GDP for two consecutive quarters.

    Comparative Advantage and Trade

    • A country has a comparative advantage in producing a good if it can produce it at a lower opportunity cost than another country.
    • If Brazil has an absolute advantage in almonds but another country has a comparative advantage, Brazil will likely import almonds.

    Consumer Surplus

    • At equilibrium, consumer surplus is represented by the area A+B+C.

    Total Surplus

    • Total surplus is represented by the sum of consumer and producer surplus at equilibrium. A+B+C+D+H+F
    • Total surplus = consumer surplus + producer surplus
    • At the equilibrium price, total surplus is maximized.

    Price and Consumer Surplus

    • At a price of P3, consumer surplus is represented by the area A.

    Total Surplus Measurement

    •  Total surplus is represented by JNL.

    Consumer Surplus and Consumer Willingness to Pay

    • When the price is equal to a consumer's willingness to pay, consumer surplus is zero.
