Markets
• Interaction between buyers and
•
sellers
Markets may be
• Local
• National
• International
• Price is discovered in the interactions
of buyers and sellers
LO1
Demand
• Schedule or curve
• Amount consumers are willing and
•
•
•
LO1
able to purchase at a given price
Other things equal
Individual demand
Market demand
Law of Demand
• Other things equal, as price falls the
quantity demanded rises, and as
price rises the quantity demanded
falls
• Reasons
• Common sense
• Law of diminishing marginal utility
• Income effect and substitution effects

Determinants of Demand
Determinants of Demand: Factors That Shift the Demand Curve
Determinant
Examples
Change in buyers’ tastes
Physical fitness rises in popularity, increasing the
demand for running shoes and bicycles; mobile phone
popularity rises, reducing the demand for land-line
phones.
Change in the number of buyers
A decline in the birthrate reduces the demand for
children’s toys.
Change in income
A rise in incomes increases the demand for normal
goods such as restaurant meals, sports tickets, and
necklaces while reducing the demand for inferior
goods such as cabbage, turnips, and inexpensive
wine.
Change in the prices of related
goods
A reduction in airfares reduces the demand for train
travel (substitute goods); a decline in the price of DVD
players increases the demand for DVD movies
(complementary goods).
Change in consumer expectations
Inclement weather in South America creates an
expectation of higher future coffee bean prices,
thereby increasing today’s demand for coffee beans.
LO1
Supply
• Schedule or curve
• Amount producers are willing and
•
•
LO2
able to sell at a given price
Individual supply
Market supply
Law of Supply
• Other things equal, as the price rises
•
LO2
the quantity supplied rises, and as the
price falls the quantity supplied falls
Reasons
• Price acts as an incentive to
producers
• At some point, costs will rise

Determinants of Supply
Determinants of Supply: Factors That Shift the Supply Curve
Determinant
Examples
Change in resource prices
A decrease in the price of microchips increases the
supply of computers; an increase in the price of crude
oil reduces the supply of gasoline.
Change in technology
The development of more effective wireless
technology increases the supply of mobile phones.
Change in taxes and subsidies
An increase in the excise tax on cigarettes reduces the
supply of cigarettes; a decline in subsidies to public
universities reduces the supply of higher education.
Change in prices of other goods
An increase in the price of cucumbers decreases the
supply of watermelons.
Change in producer expectations
An expectation of a substantial rise in future log prices
decreases the supply of logs today.
Change in the number of suppliers
An increase in the number of tattoo parlors increases
the supply of tattoos; the formation of women’s
professional basketball leagues increases the supply
of women’s professional basketball games.
LO2
Market Equilibrium
• Equilibrium occurs where the demand
•
•
curve and supply curve intersect
Surplus and shortage
Rationing functions of prices
• The ability of the competitive forces of
demand and supply to establish a price
at which selling and buying decisions
are consistent
