This document provides an overview of demand, supply, and markets. It defines key economic concepts such as demand, the law of demand, demand curves, supply, the law of supply, and supply curves. It explains how demand and supply curves can shift due to changes in factors like income, prices of related goods, technology, and consumer tastes. The document uses examples and diagrams to illustrate these concepts for a market of pizza.
The document discusses key concepts relating to sales, leases, and product liability from Chapter 14. It covers the differences between Articles 2 and 2A of the UCC, which govern sales and leases respectively. Formation of sales and lease contracts are explained, along with remedies for breach of contract. The chapter also addresses warranties that may be implied or expressed under the UCC, and provides an overview of product liability theories including negligence, misrepresentation, and strict liability.
The document discusses market equilibrium, which occurs at the price where the quantity supplied equals the quantity demanded. This equilibrium price is found at the intersection of the supply and demand curves. At the equilibrium point, the market is balanced, with no excess supply or demand. Disequilibrium can occur if there is a shortage when demand exceeds supply, or a surplus when supply exceeds demand. The document also discusses how changes in supply or demand affect the equilibrium price and quantity, and introduces the concepts of consumer surplus and producer surplus.
This document discusses key concepts related to demand, supply, and market equilibrium. It defines demand and supply curves, and explains how they interact to determine an equilibrium price and quantity in a market. Specifically, it explains that:
- Demand curves slope downward, representing an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded. Supply curves slope upward, representing a positive relationship between price and quantity supplied.
- Changes in non-price factors like income, tastes, or costs can cause demand and supply curves to shift, changing the equilibrium price and quantity in the market.
- The intersection of supply and demand curves indicates the equilibrium price and quantity where the quantities supplied and demanded are equal.
The document discusses how equilibrium market prices are determined through the interaction of supply and demand. It provides definitions of equilibrium, disequilibrium, and how shifts in supply or demand curves affect the equilibrium price and quantity traded. Examples are given of equilibrium price determination using supply and demand tables and diagrams for different commodities, and how the equilibrium changes with shifts in supply or demand.

This document summarizes key concepts related to demand and supply analysis. It defines demand as how much of a good consumers are willing and able to buy at different prices, and supply as how much producers are willing and able to offer for sale. It describes the laws of demand and supply - that demand curves slope downward and supply curves slope upward. It discusses factors that can cause shifts in demand or supply curves and changes in equilibrium price and quantity. These include income, prices of related goods, technology, and expectations. The document also explains the effects of price floors and ceilings in creating surpluses or shortages.
This document discusses fiscal policy and its effects on the macroeconomy. It covers several key topics:
1) Fiscal policy uses government spending, transfer payments, and taxes to influence aggregate demand and output. It can be used for stabilization or to close recessionary/expansionary gaps.
2) Automatic stabilizers like taxes and unemployment insurance help smooth economic fluctuations. Discretionary policy involves deliberate changes to fiscal tools.
3) Expansionary policy boosts aggregate demand to increase output and close recessionary gaps. Contractionary policy reduces demand to close inflationary gaps.
4) However, fiscal policy is difficult to implement precisely and its effectiveness faces limitations from lags, supply shocks

The document outlines the steps to conducting research: 1) Define the problem by determining what final product is required and why the research is needed; 2) Identify the needed information using keywords and understand different search methods; 3) Select the best sources by finding the most authoritative on the topic from available options; 4) Determine all possible sources and how the information within each source is organized. It then notes the steps of locating sources, extracting relevant information from them, and finishing the research process.
This document discusses externalities and the environment. It addresses renewable and exhaustible resources, and the common pool problem that can arise for open-access renewable resources when there are no property rights. It then discusses how government regulation can help resolve the common pool problem by restricting output or taxing usage to achieve socially optimal usage rates. The document also examines how to determine the optimal level of pollution when there are external costs, and how changes in technology or benefits can shift these curves and impact the optimal level.
The document summarizes key aspects of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. It describes how:
- The cardiovascular system consists of the heart, blood vessels and blood. The heart pumps oxygenated blood received from the lungs through arteries, which branch into capillaries where gas exchange occurs, and veins return deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
- The respiratory system involves breathing, gas exchange in the lungs, and transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide via the blood. Air moves through the nose/mouth and trachea into bronchi and bronchioles ending in alveoli in the lungs where oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse between the blood and air.

Nearly 32 million Hispanics in the US are of Mexican descent, and the majority worry about deportation. Latino identity encompasses terms like Hispanic, Latino, and country of origin, and preferences vary across generations and locations. The borderlands region shares cultural exchange between the US and Mexico due to immigration, trade, and media. Central and South Americans have diverse backgrounds but little shared identity beyond language, though they have increased US presence in recent decades.
The document discusses unemployment and how it is measured. It notes that the unemployment rate measures the percentage of the labor force that is unemployed and looking for work. It has historically risen during economic downturns and fallen during expansions. Certain groups like young adults and those with less education face higher unemployment rates. Long-term unemployment, defined as being out of work for 27 weeks or more, has increased significantly in recent years.
The document summarizes the history and experiences of Mexican Americans and Puerto Ricans in the United States. It discusses how the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo established citizenship for Mexican Americans but they still faced loss of land and lack of legal protections. Large-scale Mexican immigration was driven by economic factors on both sides of the border. Puerto Ricans became US citizens in 1917 but still face issues of unequal representation and economic dependence on the US. Both groups experience higher levels of poverty and unemployment than white Americans.

This document discusses aggregate expenditure and aggregate demand. It focuses on consumption and how consumption depends on and relates to income. It shows that there is a positive relationship between consumption and disposable income, both for households and the economy overall. It introduces the consumption function and how the marginal propensity to consume is the slope of this function. Finally, it discusses other components of spending including investment, government purchases, and net exports.
Ma ch 02 economic tools and economic systemsUconn Stamford
This document provides an overview of economic tools and economic systems. It discusses key concepts like opportunity cost, production possibilities frontier (PPF), comparative advantage, and different economic systems. Specifically, it defines opportunity cost as the value of the best alternative forgone when an item or activity is chosen. It explains how the PPF illustrates the tradeoffs between producing different goods that an economy faces. And it outlines the characteristics of a pure capitalist system, where there is private ownership of resources and allocation occurs through free markets.
The document discusses the roles of households, firms, and government in a market economy. It explains that households supply resources like labor and capital to produce goods, demand goods and services to maximize utility, and have evolved from self-sufficient farm households to more specialized urban households. Firms specialize production to be more efficient and take different forms like sole proprietorships and corporations. While markets are typically efficient, government intervenes to address issues like public goods provision, externalities, and inequality.
The document discusses aggregate supply and how it relates to potential output and price levels in both the short run and long run. It makes three key points:
1) In the short run, if the actual price level is above expectations, output will be above potential and there will be an expansionary gap. If it is below expectations, output will be below potential and there will be a recessionary gap.
2) In the long run, wages and prices adjust so that output returns to potential. If there was an expansionary gap, costs rise and aggregate supply shifts left. If there was a recessionary gap, costs fall and aggregate supply shifts right.
3) The long-run aggregate supply curve is
This document provides an overview of supply and demand concepts. It begins by outlining the key questions that will be addressed in the chapter, such as how supply and demand determine price and quantity. It then defines a market and competitive market assumptions. The document goes on to define demand and the law of demand, using an individual demand schedule to illustrate. It also discusses how individual demand schedules combine to form market demand. Similar concepts of supply, law of supply, and individual versus market supply are then covered. Finally, it outlines factors that can cause shifts in the demand and supply curves.
The document discusses productivity and economic growth. It explains that productivity is important for raising standards of living and is influenced by factors like capital investment, technology, education, and institutions. Labor productivity in particular has varied over time and between countries due to these factors. While productivity growth slowed in some periods for the US, it has grown on average by 2.1% annually since 1870, driving large increases in output per capita and living standards over the long run.
Ma ch 01 the art and science of economic analysisUconn Stamford
The document outlines key concepts in economics including scarcity, resources, economic decision makers, and the circular flow model. It discusses that economics studies how people use scarce resources to satisfy unlimited wants. Resources include labor, capital, natural resources, and entrepreneurship. Households supply resources and demand goods while firms demand resources and supply goods.

The document outlines factors that can shift the demand and supply curves, such as number of buyers, income, and prices of related goods. It concludes by summarizing the variables that influence demand.
1. The document discusses monopolies, describing them as markets with only one firm and no close substitutes. It explains how monopolies can arise due to economies of scale, legal barriers like patents and copyrights, and network externalities.
2. A monopoly aims to maximize profits by producing where marginal revenue equals marginal cost and charging the price on the demand curve. This results in a higher price and lower output than under perfect competition.
3. The document compares monopoly equilibrium to perfect competition, noting that all else equal, a monopoly will have a higher price and lower output for the market.
This document discusses how banks create money through the fractional reserve banking system. It explains that when the Federal Reserve provides fresh reserves to banks, for example through purchasing a government bond, this increases the banks' excess reserves which they can then lend out. Each new loan creates new deposits, 10% of which must be held as reserves, with the remainder available for new lending. This allows the money supply in the economy to multiply up to 10 times the original injection of reserves through repeated lending. The document provides examples of banks' balance sheets at each step of this money creation process.

This document discusses banking and the money supply. It begins by asking several questions about how banks create money and why banking is important. It then defines different money aggregates (M1 and M2) and describes what types of assets and liabilities are included in each measure. The document also discusses how banks work as financial intermediaries, taking in deposits and issuing loans, and how they aim to balance liquidity and profitability. It provides examples of bank balance sheets and reserve requirements. Overall, the document provides an overview of key concepts regarding how banks operate and influence the money supply.
The document discusses consumer choice and the budget constraint. It explains that a consumer's budget constraint shows the combinations of goods that can be afforded given prices and a limited budget. The budget constraint can be represented graphically as a budget line. A consumer seeks to maximize utility and will choose the combination on the budget line where the marginal utilities per dollar are equal for each good. Changes in income or prices shift the budget line, causing the consumer to choose a different quantity of each good.
This document outlines the ten principles of economics according to a textbook. It discusses how economics studies how individuals and societies make decisions to allocate scarce resources. It presents the principles in three sections: how people make decisions, how people interact, and how the overall economy works. Some of the key principles covered include people facing trade-offs, costs being what is given up to obtain something, people responding rationally at the margin to incentives, and how trade can make all parties better off. It also discusses the roles of markets and governments in organizing economic activity.
This document discusses markets and demand. It defines a market as the process where buyers and sellers exchange goods and services. Markets can be local, like the housing market, or global, like markets for automobiles or gold. The key aspect of a market is that it facilitates trade. Demand is defined by the law of demand - as the price of a good increases, the quantity demanded decreases, and vice versa. This inverse relationship exists because consumers will buy more of a good when its price decreases. The document discusses factors that can shift the demand curve for a good, including changes in income, the prices of related goods, the number of buyers, tastes, and expectations.
This document contains PowerPoint slides about capital, interest, entrepreneurship, and corporate finance. The slides discuss topics such as production and saving over time, consumption and the rate of time preference, optimal investment decisions, intellectual property, the market for loanable funds, present value calculations, entrepreneurship, and the basics of corporate structure and stock ownership. Key concepts covered include the relationship between interest rates, risk, and the demand for loans; how discounting affects present value; the role of entrepreneurs in the economy; and how corporations fund investments through stock issuance, retained earnings, and borrowing.
This document outlines ten principles of economics according to a textbook chapter. It discusses the principles in three sections - how people make decisions, how people interact, and how the overall economy works. Some of the key principles covered include that people face tradeoffs, the cost of something is what you give up to get it, rational people respond to incentives, trade can make everyone better off, and markets generally organize economic activity well but sometimes require government intervention to improve outcomes or equity.
The document discusses how economists track and measure the U.S. economy using gross domestic product (GDP). It explains that GDP represents the total market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given year. GDP is measured using both expenditure and income approaches to obtain the same value. It also describes how GDP accounts for price changes over time using price indices and discusses some limitations of GDP as a measure of economic activity.
Similar to Ma ch 04 demand supply and markets (17)
The document discusses aggregate supply and how it relates to the price level and output in an economy. It defines aggregate supply as the relationship between the price level and the quantity of output firms are willing to supply. Aggregate supply depends on factors like resource prices, technology, and production incentives. Labor is a key resource, and the supply of labor depends on the size of the workforce and preferences for work versus leisure. The price level affects real wages, which impacts the quantity of labor supplied. The document also discusses short-run and long-run aggregate supply curves and how shocks can shift these curves, impacting price levels and output.
The document discusses the history and experiences of Jewish Americans. It notes that the United States has the second largest Jewish population in the world, around 5 million people. While anti-Semitism has existed, discrimination is less severe than in Europe where two-thirds of Jews were killed in the Holocaust between 1933-1945. Today, Jewish Americans continue traditions but also assimilate aspects of American culture, with identity expressed through religion, family, education, organizational involvement and support for Israel. Debates remain around maintaining Jewish identity and traditions while participating fully in American society.
1) Muslim and Arab Americans are diverse minority groups that overlap, but are distinct - Arabs are an ethnic group and Muslims define a religious group, so one cannot assume an Arab is necessarily Muslim.
2) Arab Americans have a population of up to 3 million with origins in various Middle Eastern countries, exhibiting diversity in arrival times, origins, and religious traditions.
3) Muslim Americans number over 3 million and are growing through immigration and conversion, with origins across Africa, Asia, and the Arab world. They strive to balance religious and cultural identities with their status as American residents.
Immigration patterns in the US have fluctuated over time due to changing government policies. Settlement has been uneven, concentrated in certain regions and cities, and the source of immigrants has shifted from Europeans to Latin Americans. Immigration policies have restricted some groups, like the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, while family reunification and protecting US labor are goals of the 1965 Immigration and Naturalization Act. Illegal immigration and its economic and social impacts remain controversial issues today.
This document provides an overview of immigration to the United States throughout history. It discusses several key points:
1) Immigration has been driven by push and pull factors and has occurred in waves, with the largest sources of immigrants changing over time from Northern and Western Europe to Latin America and Asia.
2) Attitudes toward immigrants have fluctuated from acceptance to restriction based on fears around job competition and xenophobia, with discriminatory policies enacted against certain groups like the Chinese and Japanese.
3) Today, about 12% of the US population is foreign-born, primarily from Latin America, though debates continue around topics like illegal immigration, economic impacts, and the roles of women immigrants.
The document summarizes the history and experiences of Mexican Americans and Puerto Ricans in the United States. It discusses how the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo established citizenship for Mexican Americans but they still faced loss of land and lack of legal protections. Large-scale Mexican immigration was driven by economic factors on both sides of the border. Puerto Ricans became US citizens in 1917 but still face colonial status without full representation. Both groups experience higher poverty and unemployment than white Americans.
This document contains multiple choice questions about Chinese Americans and Japanese Americans. It asks about 19th century legislation prohibiting Chinese immigration, characteristics of Chinatowns, roles of women in Chinatowns, acculturation among Chinese American families, terminology for Japanese immigrants, a 1913 California land act impacting Japanese farmers, the president who ordered Japanese American internment in WWII, the order that led to internment, the group that received reparations in 1988, and comparisons of educational attainment and jobs between Japanese Americans and whites.
The document appears to be a chapter from a textbook about Asian American growth and diversity. It contains multiple choice questions about Asian American demographics, stereotypes, and experiences immigrating to the United States. Specifically, it asks about the "model minority" stereotype applied to Asian Americans, their portrayal as high-achieving minorities, and the implicit critique of other minorities in the model minority framework. It also contains questions about the experiences of specific ethnic groups like Chinese, Filipino, Indian, Vietnamese, and Hmong Americans.
Ma ch 13 money and the financial system (1)Uconn Stamford
This document discusses the history and functions of money. It begins by explaining how barter systems worked and the origins of commodity money. Commodities like grains, salt, shells and metals were some of the earliest forms of money. The document then outlines the three main functions of money as a medium of exchange, unit of account, and store of value. It also discusses the ideal properties of money and gives examples. The document provides details on banking history and the development of paper money and fiat currency not backed by gold. It also describes the underground economy that developed in U.S. prisons using commodities like cigarettes and canned mackerel as currency.
This document contains review questions about the making of African Americans in white America. It asks multiple choice questions about topics like:
- The status of the children of early African indentured servants in colonial America.
- What slave codes referred to and how they defined the social position of slaves.
- How Christianity was used to stress obedience and damnation for slaves.
- Key events and movements in the history of slavery and civil rights like the Emancipation Proclamation and abolitionism.
- Court cases that upheld racial segregation and denied voting rights to African Americans.
- Apologies that the U.S. government has and has not issued for injustices.
-
The document appears to be a chapter from a textbook about African Americans today that contains multiple choice review questions covering various topics. The questions address issues such as factors contributing to inadequate schooling for blacks, types of school segregation, barriers to black progress in higher education, causes of high unemployment among young blacks, salary disparities between black and white men in prestigious jobs, definitions of set-asides in government contracts, similarities between the rhythm-and-blues and rap music industries, characteristics of black family life, common family structures for two-parent black families, and findings about racial disparities in death penalty cases.
The document summarizes key population trends among the U.S. foreign-born population based on Census Bureau data. It finds that as of 2002, 32 million people (12% of the U.S. population) were foreign-born, with the largest numbers coming from Latin America. Over the past decade, the foreign-born population has grown significantly in many Southern and Western states. The American Community Survey provides annually updated data that allows for more detailed analysis of immigrant populations than previous data sources.

2) Attitudes toward immigrants have fluctuated from acceptance to restriction based on fears around job competition and xenophobia, with discriminatory policies enacted against specific ethnic groups like the Chinese and Japanese.
3) Today, about 12% of the US population is foreign-born, primarily from Latin America, though debates continue around topics like illegal immigration, economic impacts, and the challenges faced by women immigrants.
Nearly 32 million Hispanics in the US are of Mexican descent, and the majority worry about deportation. Latino identity encompasses terms like Hispanic, Latino, and country of origin, and preferences vary across generations and locations. The borderlands region shares cultural aspects between the US and Mexico due to immigration, trade, and other factors. Central and South Americans have diverse backgrounds but little shared identity beyond language in some cases, and their future assimilation or economic prospects remain uncertain.
The document summarizes the history and experiences of Mexican Americans and Puerto Ricans in the United States. It discusses how the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo established citizenship for Mexican Americans but they still faced loss of land and lack of legal protections. Large-scale Mexican immigration was driven by economic factors on both sides of the border. Puerto Ricans gained U.S. citizenship but have no voting representation and face economic struggles on the island. Both groups experience higher levels of poverty and unemployment compared to whites.
The document discusses the history and experiences of Jewish Americans. It notes that the United States has the second largest Jewish population in the world, around 5 million people. While anti-Semitism has existed, discrimination is less severe than in Europe where some governments promoted anti-Jewish policies. Still, anti-Semitic incidents continue and Jewish Americans work to maintain their cultural identity through religious practices, organizational involvement, and celebrating their shared heritage and history.
1) Muslim and Arab Americans are two distinct groups that sometimes overlap, with Arabs being an ethnic group and Muslims defining a religious group.
2) Arab Americans have a population of up to 3 million people with diverse origins, while Muslim Americans number over 3 million people with a variety of ethnic backgrounds.
3) Both groups have faced increased discrimination and racial profiling after events like 9/11 due to stereotypes in media and growing Islamophobia, though they remain actively engaged in civic life.
