Study Notes

Market Forces/ Elasticity

  • Market Equilibrium: Equilibrium occurs when quantity demanded equals quantity supplied (Qd = Qs).
  • Surplus: When quantity supplied exceeds quantity demanded at a price above equilibrium, a surplus exists.
  • Shortage: When quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied at a price below equilibrium, a shortage occurs.
  • Shifts in Demand Curve: Changes in factors other than price (e.g., income, consumer tastes) cause shifts in the demand curve, affecting both equilibrium price and quantity.
  • Demand Curve Shifts: An outward shift in the demand curve increases both equilibrium price and quantity. Conversely, an inward shift decreases both.

Demand and Supply Equilibrium

  • Changes in Demand: A shift in demand (not a movement along the demand curve, which is just a change in quantity demanded) affects equilibrium price and quantity.
  • Changes in Supply: Changes in the determinants of supply (price of inputs, technology, etc.) will cause shifts in the supply curve and consequently impact equilibrium price and quantity.
  • Increase in Demand: The equilibrium price and quantity increase as demand increases.
  • Decrease in Demand: The equilibrium price and quantity decrease as demand decreases.
  • Increase in Supply: The equilibrium price decreases, and quantity increases when supply increases.
  • Decrease in Supply: The equilibrium price increases, and quantity decreases when supply decreases.

Elasticity of Demand

  • Price Elasticity of Demand: Measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to a change in price.
  • Income Elasticity of Demand: Measures how responsive quantity demanded is to changes in consumer income.
  • Cross-Price Elasticity: Measures how the quantity demanded of one good responds to a change in the price of another good.
  • Degree of Elasticity: Determines the sensitivity of quantity demanded to a change in one of those factors.
