Study Notes
Supply and Demand
- Supply and demand are fundamental economic concepts that describe the relationship between the price of a good or service and the quantity that is supplied and demanded. They interact to determine the market price and quantity traded.
Law of Demand
- The law of demand states that, all other things being equal, as the price of a good or service increases, the quantity demanded of that good or service will decrease, and vice versa. This inverse relationship is due to the substitution effect and the income effect.
- The substitution effect is the tendency of consumers to substitute a more expensive good with a cheaper alternative.
- The income effect is the tendency of consumers' purchasing power to decrease as the price of a good increases. Higher prices reduce the purchasing power of consumers.
Law of Supply
- The law of supply states that, all other things being equal, as the price of a good or service increases, the quantity supplied of that good or service will increase, and vice versa. This direct relationship is driven by producers' desire to maximize profits.
- Higher prices incentivize producers to increase production.
Market Equilibrium
- Market equilibrium is the point where the supply and demand curves intersect. At this point, the quantity supplied equals the quantity demanded.
- The equilibrium price is the price at which this occurs.
- The equilibrium quantity is the quantity at which this occurs.
- Any price above or below the equilibrium is considered to be disequilibrium.
Shifts in Demand
- A shift in the demand curve occurs when something other than the price of the good or service changes, thereby impacting the quantity demanded at every price level. These factors include:
- Changes in consumer tastes and preferences
- Changes in consumer incomes
- Changes in the prices of related goods (substitutes and complements)
- Changes in consumer expectations
- Changes in the number of buyers in the market
- An increase in demand shifts the demand curve to the right, indicating a greater quantity demanded at each price.
- A decrease in demand shifts the demand curve to the left, indicating a smaller quantity demanded at each price.
Shifts in Supply
- A shift in the supply curve occurs when something other than the price of the good or service changes, affecting the quantity supplied at every price level. These factors include:
- Changes in input costs (e.g., raw materials, labor)
- Changes in technology
- Changes in government regulations
- Changes in producer expectations
- Changes in the number of sellers in the market
- An increase in supply shifts the supply curve to the right, indicating a greater quantity supplied at each price.
- A decrease in supply shifts the supply curve to the left, indicating a smaller quantity supplied at each price.
Interaction of Supply and Demand Shifts
- When both supply and demand shift, the impact on equilibrium price and quantity depends on the direction of each shift. For example:
- If demand increases and supply increases, the equilibrium quantity will increase, but the impact on the equilibrium price is uncertain and depends on the magnitudes of the shifts.
- If demand decreases and supply decreases, the equilibrium quantity will decrease, but the impact on the equilibrium price is uncertain and depends on the magnitudes of the shifts.
- Analyzing the interplay of shifts in supply and demand curves is crucial for understanding how various market factors affect the prices and quantities of goods and services.
