Chapter Goals State the law of demand and distinguish shifts in demand from movements along a demand curve. State the law of supply and distinguish shifts in supply from movements along a supply curve. Explain how the law of demand and the law of supply interact to bring about equilibrium. Discuss the limitations of demand and supply analysis.

Demand The law of demand states that the quantity of a good demanded is inversely related to the good’s price In other words, other things equal, Quantity demanded rises as price falls Quantity demanded falls as price rises As prices change, people change how much they’re willing to buy The law of demand is based on the fact that when prices for a good rise, people substitute away from that good to other goods

The Demand Curve A demand curve is the graphic representation of the relationship between price and quantity demanded P The demand curve is downward sloping P1 Q1 As price increases, quantity demanded decreases P0 Demand Q Q0

Shifts in Demand versus Movements Along a Demand Curve Quantity demanded refers to a specific amount that will be demanded per unit of time at a specific price, other things constant Refers to a specific point on the demand curve A change in price causes a change in quantity demanded A change in price causes a movement along the demand curve

Shifts in Demand versus Movements Along a Demand Curve Demand refers to a schedule of quantities of a good that will be bought per unit of time at various prices, other things constant Refers to the entire demand curve Demand tells us how much will be bought at various prices A change in anything other than price that affects the demand curve changes the entire demand curve A change in the entire demand curve is a shift in demand

Shifts in Demand versus Movements Along a Demand Curve P Movement along a demand curve A change in price causes a movement along the demand curve B $2 100 A $1 Demand Q 200

Shifts in Demand versus Movements Along a Demand Curve P Shift in demand A change in a shift factor causes a shift in demand B A $1 Demand0 Demand1 Q 175 200

Shift Factors in Demand Important shift factors of demand include: Society’s income The prices of other goods Tastes Expectations Taxes and subsidies

Application: Demand Shift What happens to demand for CDs if you won $1 million in the lottery? P Demand would shift out to the right because your income increased Demand1 Demand0 Q

From a Demand Table to a Demand Curve P Price per movie Movie rentals demanded per week A $1.00 9 B $2.00 8 C $4.00 6 D $6.00 4 E $8.00 2 E $8.00 D Demand for movies $6.00 C $4.00 B $2.00 A $1.00 Q 2 4 6 8 10

Individual and Market Demand Curves Price (per movie) Alice’s demand + Bruce’s demand + Carmen’s demand = Market demand $2.00 8 5 1 14 $4.00 6 3 9 $6.00 4 $8.00 2

Individual and Market Demand Curves Market demand curve for movies per week P The market demand curve is the summation of all individual demand curves $8.00 $6.00 $4.00 Market demand for movies $2.00 Q CARMEN BRUCE ALICE 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

Supply The law of supply states that the quantity of a good supplied is directly related to the good’s price In other words, other things equal, Quantity supplied rises as price rises Quantity supplied falls as price falls The law of supply occurs because: When prices rise, firms substitute production of one good for another Assuming firm’s costs are constant, a higher price means higher profit

The Supply Curve A supply curve is the graphic representation of the relationship between price and quantity supplied P Supply The supply curve is upward sloping P1 As price increases, quantity supplied increases P0 Q Q0 Q1

Shifts in Supply versus Movements Along a Supply Curve Quantity supplied refers to a specific amount that will be supplied per unit of time at a specific price, other things constant Refers to a specific point on the supply curve A change in price changes quantity supplied A change in price causes a change in quantity supplied A change in price causes a movement along the supply curve

Shifts in Supply versus Movements Along a Supply Curve Supply refers to a schedule of quantities of a good a seller is willing to sell per unit of time at various prices, other things constant Refers to the entire supply curve Supply tells us how much will be sold at various prices A change in anything other than price that affects the supply curve changes the entire supply curve A change in the entire supply curve is a shift in supply

Shifts in Supply versus Movements Along a Supply Curve Movement along a supply curve P Supply C A change in price causes a movement along the supply curve $80 B $50 Q 4.1 4.3

Shifts in Supply versus Movements Along a Supply Curve Shift in Supply P S0 S1 A change in a shift factor causes a shift in supply Q

Shift Factors in Supply Important shift factors of supply include: Price of inputs Technology Expectations Taxes and subsidies

The Interaction of Supply and Demand Equilibrium is a concept in which opposing dynamic forces cancel each other out In the free market, the forces of supply and demand interact to determine: Equilibrium quantity is the amount bought and sold at equilibrium price Equilibrium price is the price toward which the invisible hand drives the market

The Interaction of Supply and Demand If there is an excess supply (a surplus), quantity supplied is greater than quantity demanded If there is an excess demand (a shortage), quantity demanded is greater than quantity supplied Prices adjust and tend to rise when there is excess demand and fall when there is excess supply to reach an equilibrium

The Interaction of Supply and Demand Excess supply Supply Excess supply causes downward pressure on price P1 P* Excess demand causes upward pressure on price P0 Excess demand Demand Q

Political and Social Forces and Equilibrium If social and political forces were included in the analysis, they’d provide a counter–pressure to the dynamic forces of supply and demand. For example: • Social pressures often offset economic pressures and prevent unemployed individuals from accepting work at lower wages than currently employed workers receive. • Existing firms conspire to limit new competition by lobbying Congress to pass restrictive regulations and by devising pricing strategies to scare off new entrants. • Renters often organize to pressure local government to set caps on the rental price of apartments.

Shifts in Supply and Demand Shifts in either supply or demand change equilibrium price An increase in demand or a decrease in supply Creates excess demand at the original equilibrium price Excess demand increases price until a new higher equilibrium prince is reached A decrease in demand or an increase in supply Creates excess supply at the original equilibrium price Excess supply decreases price until a new lower equilibrium price is reached

Application: A decrease in supply Q0 S1 A decrease in supply generates excess demand. Price will increase until a new, higher, equilibrium price is reached P1 Q1 Excess demand D0 Q

Application: A decrease in demand Q Q0 Excess supply A decrease in demand generates excess supply. Price will decrease until a new, lower, equilibrium price is reached D1 P0 P1 Q1

Limitations of Supply/Demand Analysis Sometimes supply and demand are interconnected The other things held constant assumption is not likely to hold when the goods represent a large percentage of the entire economy The fallacy of composition is the false assumption that what is true for a part will also be true for the whole

Chapter Summary The law of demand states that the quantity demanded rises as price falls, other things constant. The law of supply states that the quantity supplied rises as price rises, other things constant. A change in quantity demanded (supplied), caused by only a change in the good’s own price, is a movement along the demand (supply) curve. A change in demand (supply) is a shift of the entire demand (supply) curve. Factors that affect supply and demand other than price are called shift factors.

Chapter Summary Important supply shift factors include price of inputs, technology, expectations, and taxes and subsidies to producers Important demand shift factors include society’s income, the price of other goods, tastes, expectations, and taxes and subsidies to consumers A market demand (supply) curve is the horizontal sum of all individual demand (supply) curves When quantity demanded equals quantity supplied at equilibrium, prices have no tendency to change When quantity demanded is greater than quantity supplied, prices tend to rise; when quantity supplied is greater than quantity demanded, prices tend to fall
