    Study Notes

    Supply

    • Factors that can shift the supply curve:
      • Input Prices (ราคาปัจจัยการผลิต)
      • Technology (การเปลี่ยนแปลงของเทคโนโลยี)
      • Expectations of future price and quantity (การคาคการณ์ในอนาคตเกี่ยวกับราคาและปริมาณ)
      • Number of sellers (จานวนผู้ผลิต/ผู้ขายในตลาด)
    • Input Prices (ราคาปัจจัยการผลิต):
      • Supply is negatively related to input prices.
      • Higher input prices decrease supply.
    • Technology (การเปลี่ยนแปลงของเทคโนโลยี):
      • Advancements in technology increase supply.
    • Expectations about the future (การคาคการณ์ในอนาคตเกี่ยวกับราคาและปริมาณ):
      • Affect current supply.
      • Expected higher prices decrease current supply.
    • Number of Sellers (จานวนผู้ผลิต/ผู้ขายในตลาด):
      • An increase in sellers leads to an increase in market supply.

    Demand

    • Factors that can shift the demand curve:
      • Income (รายได้)
      • Prices of related goods (ราคาของสินค้าที่เกี่ยวข้อง)
      • Tastes (รสนิยมของการบริโภค)
      • Expectations (การคาดการณ์ในอนาคต)
      • Number of buyers (จานวนผู้ซื้อในตลาด)
    • Income (รายได้):
      • Normal goods (สินค้าปกติ – อุปสงค์ต่อสินค้านั้นจะเพิม่ ขึ้นเมื่อผู้บริโภคมีรายได้สูงขึ้น เช่น รถยนต์ เสื้อผ้า อุปกรณ์อิเล็กทรอนิกส์)
        • An increase in income leads to an increase in demand.
      • Inferior goods (สินค้าด้อย – อุปสงค์ต่อสินค้านั้นจะลดลงเมื่อผู้บริโภคมีรายได้สูงขึ้น เช่น อาหารกระป๋อง บะหมี่กึ่งสาเร็จรูป บริการรถเมล์ รถยนต์มือสอง เสื้อผ้าลดราคา)
        • An increase in income leads to a decrease in demand.
    • Prices of Related Goods (ราคาของสินค้าที่เกี่ยวข้อง):
      • Substitutes (สินค้าทดแทน เช่น ก๊าซกับน้ามันเบนซิน)
        • An increase in the price of one substitute leads to an increase in the demand for the other.
      • Complements (สินค้าประกอบกัน เช่น printer กับหมึกพิมพ์ บ้าน สร้างใหม่กับกระเบื้องหลังคา)
        • An increase in the price of one complement leads to a decrease in the demand for the other.
    • Tastes (รสนิยมของการบริโภค):
      • Changes in tastes change demand.
    • Expectations about the future (การคาดการณ์ในอนาคต):
      • Expect an increase in income (อุปสงค์เพิ่มขึ้น เมื่อคาดการณ์ว่ารายได้ในอนาคตจะเพิ่มขึ้น)
        • Increase in current demand.
      • Expect higher prices (อุปสงค์เพิ่มขึ้น เมื่อคาดการณ์ว่าราคาสินค้านั้นในอนาคตจะสูงขึ้น)
        • Increase in current demand.
    • Number of Buyers (จานวนผู้ซื้อในตลาด):
      • An increase in the number of buyers increases market demand.

    Supply and Demand Together

    • Shifts in supply and demand can affect the equilibrium price and quantity.
    • Example: Hurricane and Heat Wave
      • A heat wave increases demand for ice cream, shifting the demand curve to the right.
      • A hurricane could destroy crops used to make ice cream, shifting the supply curve to the left.
      • Equilibrium price rises because demand increases, and supply falls.
      • The equilibrium quantity can increase or decrease depending on the magnitude of the shifts in supply and demand.

    Exercise: Events Affecting Equilibrium

    Event Equilibrium Price Equilibrium Quantity
    Higher price of complements and Lower price of substitutes Down Down
    Higher expected future price Up Depend
    Higher expected future income and better production technology Depend Up
