Interdependent Choice &
Market Coordination
SUPA Economics
Chapter 3
The Division of Labor
• Interdependence
▫ “No man is an island”
• Specialization
▫ Leads to:
 New innovations
 Increased productivity & dexterity
 A surplus of goods, but many unmet needs
 Trade
▫ Limits
 Demand?
Surplus, Exchange, and Gains from
trade
If we all produce 1 good,
we will have a surplus of that good,
but many unmet needs
This leads to the need for exchange
Through exchange, the benefits of division of
labor are realized
Surplus, Exchange & Gains from
Trade

hour a day on making gun
racks and hockey nets,
these would be the results.

Absolute & Comparative Advantage
• Absolute Advantage
Jim is better at producing gun racks
Garth is better at producing street hockey nets
Each has an absolute advantage in that activity which they do best
• Comparative Advantage
Produce a good at a lower opportunity costs.

Economic Systems
• Traditional
• Command
• Free Market
The magic of markets
The premise- each person gets a share of social
endowment as your own private property
You can use that share as you please
Under ideal conditions known as perfect
competition,
pursuing self-interest will also serve others
The more the market values what you bring to it,
the more you will be rewarded
The Role of Money in Markets
Money is financial capital
Production capital is a “produced means of
production” like machines
Whenever you hear the word capital, you need to
figure out which way it is used
Money
• Barter to money exchange
• The Roles of Money
▫ Unit of Account
▫ Medium of Exchange
▫ Store of Value
• Types of Money
▫ Commodity
▫ Fiat
Characteristics of good
money:
• Relatively fixed in supply
• Portable
• Continuously dividisble
• Storable

Follow-Up Questions
• What is the “invisible hand?”
▫ The idea that the market moves as needed
• Do we ever really reach equilibrium?
▫ No, but we are always adjusting towards it
• How do suppliers know how much to charge?
▫ They consider how much consumers are willing to pay
• Do suppliers and demanders strive for equilibrium?
▫ No, they are just trying to maximize utility
Circular Flow Model
• Main Players
▫ Individuals (Households)
▫ Firms
• Markets
▫ Factor/Resource Markets(individual selling labor to firm…a
nurse)
▫ Product Markets(firms selling g/s to individuals)
• “Web of Connections”
Perfect Competition
• Situation where there is:
▫ No market power (a fair race for everyone)
 Equal access to information (opportunity…violations- ol’boy
network, insider trading)
 Equal access to markets (help wanted ads based on gender,
race)
▫ No market failure (markets do their job)
 Markets function smoothly
 Markets form quickly when needed
• If we assume these things to be true, we will have a
perfectly competitive economy that reaches
Pareto Optimal General Competitive Equilibrium
