This document introduces markets and how they work. It defines a market as any place or mechanism that brings together buyers and sellers to trade or exchange products. Markets are important because they determine prices, allocate scarce resources, and allow consumers to express preferences and producers to earn profit. Different types of markets are discussed, including housing, stock, labor, and commodity markets. Students are then asked to investigate specific markets to identify reasons for changes in prices, such as an imbalance between supply and demand.

Market mechanism
The document discusses market mechanisms and how supply and demand determine market equilibrium price. It defines a market as a place where buyers and sellers interact to determine price and quantity. The market mechanism is governed by the laws of supply and demand. Equilibrium is reached at the price where quantity supplied equals quantity demanded, clearing the market. If supply exceeds demand, prices fall until equilibrium is attained, and if demand exceeds supply then prices rise until equilibrium is reached.
Market Mechanism Forces
The document discusses the price mechanism and how it allocates scarce resources through market forces. It describes the price mechanism's rationing, signaling, and incentive functions. When supply and demand change, prices adjust to clear the market and encourage production changes. The price mechanism works efficiently when certain conditions are met, but market failures can occur when these conditions are not met, such as with externalities or imperfect information. The document outlines how markets can allocate resources efficiently but also how government intervention may be needed to address market failures.
Market Mechanism
The document discusses how demand and supply determine the price of goods and services in a market. It outlines several factors that affect demand, such as price, income, prices of other goods, tastes and fashion, and advertising. Factors affecting supply are also presented, including price, costs of production, prices of other goods, and technology. The document concludes that the market price is set at the point where the demand and supply curves intersect.
Market machanisum
This document discusses market equilibrium and the impact of government intervention in markets. It defines market equilibrium as the price where quantity demanded equals quantity supplied. The document discusses how equilibrium changes with shifts in supply or demand. It also explains different types of government intervention like price controls, taxes, and subsidies. Specific policies discussed include price ceilings, price floors, and minimum wages. The effects of binding versus non-binding price controls are explained, such as shortages from price ceilings and surpluses from price floors. The document concludes by asking if price controls are good policy tools.
Market equilibrium
The document discusses market equilibrium and disequilibrium. It states that market equilibrium occurs when quantity supplied equals quantity demanded at the market price, and there is no tendency for the price to change. Market disequilibrium can occur when there is either excess demand (quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied, causing price to rise) or excess supply (quantity supplied exceeds quantity demanded, causing price to fall). The document also explains how changes in supply and demand impact equilibrium price and quantity.
Functions of the Price Mechanism
The price mechanism has four main functions: 1) Allocation of scarce resources through prices that signal relative scarcity. 2) Rationing of scarce resources when demand exceeds supply through higher prices deterring some consumers. 3) Signalling changes in market conditions through price adjustments that inform producers and consumers. 4) Incentivizing consumers and suppliers by changing incentives in response to price changes. In an economy like the UK, prices resolve issues of trade-offs and opportunity costs. The rationing and signalling functions are then discussed in more detail with examples.
1a kno how on intro to markets
This document discusses the price mechanism and how markets work. It explains that markets bring together buyers and sellers to agree on a price. The market clearing price is the price at which supply equals demand. If the price is too high, there will be excess supply, and if it is too low there will be excess demand. The document also discusses how prices perform the functions of rationing goods, providing incentives for producers, and signaling where resources should be allocated.
Market equilibrium
The document discusses market equilibrium and how supply and demand interact to determine price and quantity in competitive markets. It defines equilibrium price as the price where the quantity demanded is equal to the quantity supplied, resulting in no shortages or surpluses. Disequilibrium occurs when demand and supply are not equal at the existing price, resulting in either a shortage or surplus. The document provides examples of how prices and quantities adjust to changes in demand or supply through shifts in the curves to restore equilibrium. Tasks are included applying these concepts to real world market situations.

The theory of demand
- Students will investigate markets in groups of three by describing price changes over time for a selected market, researching the market online, suggesting reasons for price changes, and presenting findings to the class.
- Market prices are determined by the interaction of supply and demand - if demand is high relative to supply, prices will tend to rise, and if supply is high relative to demand, prices will tend to fall.
- The homework assignments involve creating notes on demand theory, analyzing examples of how demand changes based on determinants, and answering practice questions.

Phuong HM Nguyen - The Market Forces of Supply and Demand
1. The document discusses the key concepts of supply and demand, including market forces, equilibrium price and quantity, determinants of supply and demand, and how shifts in supply and demand curves impact equilibrium.
2. Demand is defined as the quantity of a good consumers are willing and able to purchase at different prices, and is impacted by income, prices of substitutes and complements, tastes, and number of buyers. The law of demand states that price and quantity demanded are inversely related.
3. Supply is defined as the quantity of a good producers are willing to provide at different prices, and can shift due to input prices, technology, expectations, and number of sellers. The law of supply states that
market structure -khushi maniktala.pptx
This document defines different types of markets and discusses the concept of market equilibrium. It begins by defining what constitutes a market and describing different market structures, including perfect competition, monopoly, oligopoly, and monopolistic competition. It then explains market equilibrium as the state where supply equals demand. The key factors that influence equilibrium are defined as supply and demand, price, quantity, consumer preferences, producer costs, and government policies. Finally, the document provides an example of market equilibrium using a supply and demand graph and defines the equilibrium price as the price at which the supply and demand curves intersect.
Market structure
A market can be defined as a group of firms willing and able to sell a similar product or service to the same potential buyers.
Imperfect competition covers all situations where there is neither pure competition nor pure monopoly.
Perfect competition and pure monopoly are very unlikely to be found in the real world.
In the real world, it is the imperfect competition lying between perfect competition and pure monopoly.
The fundamental distinguishing characteristic of imperfect competition is that average revenue curve slopes downwards throughout its length, but it slopes downwards at different rates in different categories of imperfect competition.
Monopoly refers to the market situation where there is a
Single seller selling a product which has no close substitutes.
Monopolies are characterized by a lack of economic competition to produce the good or service, a lack of viable substitute goods, and the existence of a high monopoly price well above the firm's marginal cost that leads to a high monopoly profit
The word “oligopoly” comes from the Greek “oligos” meaning "little or small” and “polein” meaning “to sell.” When “oligos” is used in the plural, it means “few” ,few firms or few sellers.
DEFINATION:
Oligopoly is that form of market where there are few firms and there is natural interdependence among the firms regarding price and output policy.
Price theory- Demand and Supply
The theory of price, also known as price theory, is a microeconomic principle that uses the concept of supply and demand to determine the appropriate price point for a good or service. The goal is to achieve equilibrium in which the quantities of goods or services provided match the corresponding market's desire and ability to acquire the good or service. The concept allows for price adjustments as market conditions change.
Section 2 - Chapter 10 - Volume Analysis.pdf
Volume is a key indicator in technical analysis that measures the number of shares or contracts traded during a given period. It provides important context to price movements by showing the level of participation and liquidity in the market. Higher volume during a price move indicates that the move is more significant. Volume analysis attempts to reveal the relationship between price trends and corresponding volume to determine if the price action is confirmed or contradicted. By analyzing price and volume together, one can gain insights into future price movements.
MARKET STRUCTURES.pptx
This document discusses market structures and the factors that determine the degree of competition in a market. It explains that market structure refers to the characteristics of an industry that determine the relationships between buyers and sellers. The key factors that determine the level of competition are the number and size of buyers and sellers, type of products, ease of entry and exit into the market, pricing power of firms, and how much information is available to market participants. The document then provides details on each of these factors.

Demand Supply and Price Theory - 2.pptx
The document provides an overview of key economic concepts covered in Week 2 including:
- Opportunity cost, incentives, trade, productivity, and the relationship between marginal benefit and marginal cost.
- Three economic models - the circular flow diagram, production possibilities frontier, and market equilibrium.
- Demand, supply, elasticity, and how markets reach equilibrium.
- Factors that shift demand and supply curves such as income, prices of related goods, and input prices.
It also defines important terms like surplus, shortage, price elasticity, income elasticity, and cross price elasticity.
Chapter 6 presentation
This document discusses how prices are determined by supply and demand and how they can change based on market factors. It explains the concept of market equilibrium and how shortages or surpluses cause prices to adjust back to equilibrium. An increase in supply shifts the supply curve right, lowering prices, while increased demand shifts the demand curve right, raising prices. Prices serve important roles as incentives for producers, signals for the market, and means for efficient allocation of resources. The government sometimes intervenes by imposing price floors or ceilings.
Ii technical analysis
This document provides an introduction to technical analysis for investors. It discusses the basics of technical analysis including why it is used, the different types of charts (line, bar, candlestick, point and figure), and key concepts like support and resistance. The document provides a brief history of technical analysis and its pioneers like Charles Dow. It explains how technical analysis studies investor behavior and sentiment through analysis of historical price data. The goal is to help investors identify trends and make buy/sell decisions.
Demand and supply forecasting Equilibrium
Demand forecasting involves estimating future demand based on past data and demand determinants. There are long-term and short-term forecasting methods using statistical techniques like time series analysis or surveys. Forecasting allows for production planning, inventory control, and other business decisions. Supply is the quantity producers are willing to offer at various prices in a given period. The law of supply states that, all else constant, higher prices increase supply while lower prices decrease it. Market equilibrium exists when supply equals demand, resulting in a stable price.
3 supply and demand
The document summarizes the economic theory of supply and demand. It defines key concepts such as markets, demand, supply, and equilibrium price. Demand is determined by factors like income, wealth, prices of substitutes and complements, population, expected price, and tastes. Supply is determined by the costs of production faced by firms. The interaction of supply and demand forces in a competitive market determines the equilibrium price and quantity traded.

The document provides an overview of the economic theory of supply and demand. It defines key concepts such as markets, demand curves, supply curves, and equilibrium. It explains how demand and supply are determined by various factors and how equilibrium price and quantity are established through the interaction of supply and demand in a market. It also demonstrates how the equilibrium can change if supply or demand shifts due to external factors, through examples of income rising or an ice storm affecting supply.

July03
- The document outlines a class on supply and demand, including reviewing concepts from the previous class and previewing what will be covered and tested on.
- Key concepts covered are the demand and supply curves, how equilibrium is determined by the intersection of the curves, and how shifts in the curves impact equilibrium price and quantity.
- The assumptions of the supply and demand model are discussed, including that quantity responds to price, resources are scarce, and people act rationally.
Summer Project
The document discusses various techniques for analyzing stocks and selecting companies to invest in, including fundamental analysis and technical analysis. It describes Dow Theory, Elliott Wave Theory, and candlestick patterns as technical analysis methods. It also covers the types of stock market participants, online trading mechanisms, and order placing on stock exchanges.
3.18 competitive organisational structures
This document discusses different organizational structures and how businesses can adapt their structures to improve competitiveness. It defines organizational structure as the relationship between people and functions both vertically and horizontally. It then discusses different types of organizational structures like centralized and decentralized structures. It explains how businesses can decentralize decision making or delayer management hierarchies to adapt. Finally, it discusses introducing flexible workforces through using core/peripheral workers, outsourcing, and homeworking to improve competitiveness through adapting organizational structure.
Monopolistic competition (2)
This document discusses the economic model of monopolistic competition. Key assumptions of this model include:
- Firms produce differentiated products and have some degree of monopoly power over their own products but face competition from close substitutes.
- The industry contains a large number of small firms relative to the overall market size.
- There is free entry into the industry, so abnormal profits will attract new competition over time.
In the short run, firms can earn abnormal profits that depend on demand elasticity. In the long run, entry of new firms increases supply and reduces prices until all abnormal profits are eliminated and firms earn only normal profits. The market reaches long-run equilibrium.

Developing and implementing workforce plans
This document discusses workforce planning, including:
- Defining workforce planning as determining current and future labor needs in terms of number of employees, skills, timing, and location.
- Involving assessing factors like staffing levels, turnover, internal/external demands and supplies of labor, and developing strategies to achieve staffing targets through training, recruitment, or staff reduction.
- Noting the value of workforce planning in preventing labor issues but also its limitations if not based on quality information and adaptable to changing conditions.
Contestable market slides slg new
1) Contestable market theory proposes that markets can achieve perfect competition outcomes through the threat of entry and exit by firms, even with few competitors.
2) Key characteristics of contestable markets include lack of barriers to entry and exit, absence of sunk costs, and perfect knowledge.
3) Governments can increase contestability through deregulation, competition laws, and technology reducing entry costs.
Theory of oligopoly
This document discusses the theory of oligopoly, which describes markets with a small number of large firms that dominate the market. Key characteristics include high concentration ratios, interdependence between firms, differentiated products, and high barriers to entry. Firms in an oligopoly engage in non-price competition through branding, marketing, and product differentiation. They also sometimes collude on prices or market share. The kinked demand curve model suggests firms will match price cuts but not price increases, leading to generally rigid prices in oligopoly markets. Collusion aims to maximize joint profits but is unstable as firms have incentives to cheat.
Price elasticity of supply
This document defines price elasticity of supply (PES) as the responsiveness of quantity supplied to a change in price. It provides the formula for calculating PES as the percentage change in quantity supplied divided by the percentage change in price. PES can be price elastic, where the percentage change in quantity supplied is greater than the percentage change in price and the PES is less than 1, or price inelastic, where the percentage change in quantity supplied is less than the percentage change in price and the PES is between 1 and zero. The document lists determinants of PES as the time period in the production process, marginal cost, stock levels, cost of factor substitution, spare capacity, and ease of factor substitution.
Understanding HR objectives and strategies
This document discusses understanding HR objectives and strategies. It defines HR management as the proactive management of people within an organization to help achieve organizational objectives. HR involves functions like workforce planning, recruitment, training, performance appraisal, collective bargaining, and health and safety. Key HR objectives include good employee relations and maximizing workforce potential. HR objectives are influenced by internal factors like technology and structure, and external factors like the economy. Organizations can adopt either a "hard" HR strategy that focuses on efficiency, or a "soft" strategy that treats employees as valuable assets.
Thinking creatively new
This document discusses techniques for creative thinking and developing new ideas. It provides examples of tasks and activities for a class on creative thinking.
The key points are:
1) Developing new and unique ideas helps businesses gain a competitive advantage by having better products/services or lower costs.
2) Various techniques for creative thinking are introduced, like blue sky thinking to generate many ideas without dismissing any, and Six Thinking Hats to organize ideas by perspective.
3) Activities include developing a new game show, investigating companies that gained advantages through creative ideas, and creating a new breakfast product for schools.
Contestable markets new
Markets can become more contestable through deregulation, tougher competition laws, and new technologies lowering entry costs. Contestable market theory holds that the threat of entry, not just current competitors, keeps prices low and forces firms to act efficiently. For example, the open skies agreement allowed more airlines to compete on transatlantic routes, threatening British Airways' profits from high-fare passengers. While no market is perfectly contestable, the degree of competition/threat of entry is what matters most according to this theory.

Markets can become more contestable through deregulation, tougher competition laws, and new technologies lowering entry costs. Contestable market theory holds that the threat of entry, not just current competitors, keeps prices low and forces firms to act efficiently. For example, the open skies agreement allowed more airlines to compete on transatlantic routes, threatening British Airways' profits from high-fare passengers. While no market is perfectly contestable, the degree of ease of entry and threat of competition influences firm behavior and market outcomes.
1.15 assessing startups

1.8 raising finance
This document discusses various options for raising finance for a business, including personal savings, borrowing from friends and family, selling private assets, mortgages, overdrafts, bank loans, ordinary share capital, and venture capital.
For each option, the advantages and disadvantages are outlined. Personal savings are cheap with no interest but may be insufficient. Borrowing from friends and family can offer easier repayment terms than banks but can add stress. Selling assets allows assets to be leased back but unlikely to raise large sums. Mortgages offer lower interest rates but involve risk of losing property. Overdrafts are flexible but have higher interest rates than loans. Bank loans have fixed repayment periods but loan size is limited. Ordinary
Cross price elasticity of demand
This document discusses cross price elasticity of demand (XED), which is a measure of how the quantity demanded of one good responds to a change in the price of another good. It provides the definition and formula for XED. Examples are given of different goods and whether they are likely to have positive or negative XED based on whether they are substitutes or complements. Terminology for close substitutes and complements is also defined based on whether the XED is greater than or less than one. The document notes that XED is useful for businesses to forecast demand changes and determine closest substitutes. Tasks are outlined for students to practice calculating XED using examples, present their findings, and answer past paper questions with analysis and
Making investment decisions
This document discusses different methods for assessing investment projects, including payback period, average rate of return, and net present value. Payback period calculates the number of years for a project's cash flows to repay the initial investment. Average rate of return measures annual profit as a percentage of the capital cost. Net present value discounts future cash flows to determine their value today relative to the initial investment cost. The document compares the advantages and disadvantages of each method.
Economics revision on everything
This document defines key economic concepts related to demand, supply, and market equilibrium. It explains that demand is determined by factors like price, income, tastes, and availability of substitutes. The demand curve illustrates the relationship between price and quantity demanded. Consumer surplus is defined as the difference between what consumers are willing to pay and the market price. Supply is determined by factors like production costs, prices of other goods, and technology. The supply curve shows the relationship between price and quantity supplied. Market equilibrium exists where quantity demanded equals quantity supplied. Changes in demand or supply curves result in new equilibrium prices.

Monopoly
This document provides information about market structure models, specifically monopoly. It defines different types of monopolies, including theoretical monopoly, complex monopoly, and examples where monopolistic power can exist due to mergers, entry barriers, legal protections, or anti-competitive behavior. The document examines the case against monopoly by explaining how monopoly pricing leads to allocative inefficiency through higher prices and lower output compared to competitive markets. It also discusses potential dynamic efficiency losses if barriers prevent entry. Case studies on airline and airport monopolies are presented to illustrate these effects. The document acknowledges there may be cases for monopoly through economies of scale, efficiency gains, or in natural monopolies where competition would be too costly.
