Why Supply Shifts: Determinants of Supply
Technology/Productivity Cost of Inputs/Factors of Production Number of Sellers Producer Expectations Government Price of Related Goods Weather/Natural Disasters
8
Technology/Productivity
Improves production of G&S Makes G&S more cheaply Leads to more productivity and efficiency
9
Cost of Inputs/ Factors of Production
If cost of a factor of production increases, supply will decrease. More expensive to produce good If cost of a factor of production decreases, supply will increase. Less expensive to produce good
10
Number of Sellers Increase in the number of businesses in the market will increase the supply of a good Decrease in the number of businesses in the market will decrease the supply of a good

Producer Expectations
If producers expect they can sell a good for a higher price in the near future, supply will increase now. If producers expect they can sell a good for a lower price in the near future, supply will decrease now.

Government: Regulations or Taxes
Increase in government regulations or taxes on businesses decreases supply. Decrease in government regulations or taxes on businesses increases supply.

Government: Subsidies
Increase in government subsidies for businesses increases supply. Decrease in government subsidies for businesses decreases supply.
