DEMAND What Buyers are Willing and Able to Buy, during a given Time Period, ceteris paribus. KEY POINTS ABOUT DEMAND “WILLINGNESS AND ABILITY” (not stridently wanting) “BUYERS” (not sellers) “during a given time period” is a FLOW (not a STOCK) “ceteris paribus”- all other things are held constant except price and quantity.

If You Know the shift in demand or supply, then you know what is likely to happen to price and quantity If You Know the determinant that has changed and price, then you know what is happening to quantity demanded. If You Know the determinant that has changed and quantity demanded, then you know what is happening to price. Lower Price Lower Output Higher Price Leftward (downward) Shift of Demand Leftward (upward) Shift of Supply Higher Output Rightward (downward) Shift of Supply Rightward (upward) Shift of Demand Breakdown all shifts into their output and price vectors MARKET BOUNDARIES BUYER POINT OF VIEW: No potential seller exists outside of the market boundaries (within a reasonable price range) SELLER POINT OF VIEW: No potential buyer exists outside of the market boundaries (within a reasonable price range) BOTH POINTS OF VIEW MUST HOLD CROSS PRICE ELASTICITY measures MARKET BOUNDARIES X represents buyers O represents sellers X X O O X X X O MARKET DEMAND FOR CARS Price ($1000/car) Price ($1000/car) Price ($1000/car) 30 15 7 9 45 11 14 U.S quantity (mill/yr) + Foreign Q (mill/yr) = Market Demand MUSTANG DEMAND GAINS-LOSS=$2974 M.
