... A change in the price of one good changes the demand for another good. You’ve seen that if the price of a movie falls, MUM/PM rises, so before the consumer changes the quantities consumed, MUM/PM > MUS/PS. To restore consumer equilibrium (maximum total utility) the consumer decreases the quantity of ...

Distribution channel choice in a market with complementary goods
... The complementarity of the products is indicated by the negative cross-price derivative (aq;/ap, = -c). The one-stop shopping effect operates when the two products are sold through the same distribution channel by discretely increasing the value of a (making the quantity demanded higher at every pri ...

Demand Shifts in the Demand Curve
... Problem : Katherine advertises to sell cookies for $4 a dozen. She sells 50 dozen, and decides that she can charge more. She raises the price to $6 a dozen and sells 40 dozen. What is the elasticity of demand? Assuming that the elasticity of demand is constant, how many would she sell if the price w ...

Externality
In economics, an externality is the cost or benefit that affects a party who did not choose to incur that cost or benefit.For example, manufacturing activities that cause air pollution impose health and clean-up costs on the whole society, whereas the neighbors of an individual who chooses to fire-proof his home may benefit from a reduced risk of a fire spreading to their own houses. If external costs exist, such as pollution, the producer may choose to produce more of the product than would be produced if the producer were required to pay all associated environmental costs. Because responsibility or consequence for self-directed action lies partly outside the self, an element of externalization is involved. If there are external benefits, such as in public safety, less of the good may be produced than would be the case if the producer were to receive payment for the external benefits to others. For the purpose of these statements, overall cost and benefit to society is defined as the sum of the imputed monetary value of benefits and costs to all parties involved. Thus, unregulated markets in goods or services with significant externalities generate prices that do not reflect the full social cost or benefit of their transactions; such markets are therefore inefficient.
