South-Western 44The Market Forces of Supply and Demand
3.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western • Supply and demand are the two words that economists use most often. • Supply and demand are the forces that make market economies work. • Modern microeconomics is about supply, demand, and market equilibrium.
4.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western • A market is a group of buyers and sellers of a particular good or service. • The terms supply and demand refer to the behavior of people . . . as they interact with one another in markets. MARKETS AND COMPETITION
5.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western MARKETS AND COMPETITION • Buyers determine demand. • Sellers determine supply
6.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western Competitive Markets • A competitive market is a market in which there are many buyers and sellers so that each has a negligible impact on the market price.
7.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western • Perfect Competition • Products are the same • Numerous buyers and sellers so that each has no influence over price • Buyers and Sellers are price takers • Monopoly • One seller, and seller controls price Competition: Perfect and Otherwise
8.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western • Oligopoly • Few sellers • Not always aggressive competition • Monopolistic Competition • Many sellers • Slightly differentiated products • Each seller may set price for its own product Competition: Perfect and Otherwise
9.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western DEMAND • Quantity demanded is the amount of a good that buyers are willing and able to purchase. • Law of Demand • The law of demand states that, other things equal, the quantity demanded of a good falls when the price of the good rises.
10.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western The Demand Curve: The Relationship between Price and Quantity Demanded • Demand Schedule • The demand schedule is a table that shows the relationship between the price of the good and the quantity demanded.

South-Western Market Demand versus Individual Demand • Market demand refers to the sum of all individual demands for a particular good or service. • Graphically, individual demand curves are summed horizontally to obtain the market demand curve.
15.

Copyright © 2004
South-Western Equilibrium • Surplus • When price > equilibrium price, then quantity supplied > quantity demanded. • There is excess supply or a surplus. • Suppliers will lower the price to increase sales, thereby moving toward equilibrium.
43.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western Equilibrium • Shortage • When price < equilibrium price, then quantity demanded > the quantity supplied. • There is excess demand or a shortage. • Suppliers will raise the price due to too many buyers chasing too few goods, thereby moving toward equilibrium.
44.

Copyright © 2004
South-Western Equilibrium • Law of supply and demand • The claim that the price of any good adjusts to bring the quantity supplied and the quantity demanded for that good into balance.
46.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western Three Steps to Analyzing Changes in Equilibrium • Decide whether the event shifts the supply or demand curve (or both). • Decide whether the curve(s) shift(s) to the left or to the right. • Use the supply-and-demand diagram to see how the shift affects equilibrium price and quantity.
47.

South-Western Three Steps to Analyzing Changes in Equilibrium • Shifts in Curves versus Movements along Curves • A shift in the supply curve is called a change in supply. • A movement along a fixed supply curve is called a change in quantity supplied. • A shift in the demand curve is called a change in demand. • A movement along a fixed demand curve is called a change in quantity demanded.

Happens to Price and Quantity When Supply or Demand Shifts? Copyright©2004 South-Western

Copyright © 2004
South-Western Summary • Economists use the model of supply and demand to analyze competitive markets. • In a competitive market, there are many buyers and sellers, each of whom has little or no influence on the market price.
52.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western Summary • The demand curve shows how the quantity of a good depends upon the price. • According to the law of demand, as the price of a good falls, the quantity demanded rises. Therefore, the demand curve slopes downward. • In addition to price, other determinants of how much consumers want to buy include income, the prices of complements and substitutes, tastes, expectations, and the number of buyers. • If one of these factors changes, the demand curve shifts.
53.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western Summary • The supply curve shows how the quantity of a good supplied depends upon the price. • According to the law of supply, as the price of a good rises, the quantity supplied rises. Therefore, the supply curve slopes upward. • In addition to price, other determinants of how much producers want to sell include input prices, technology, expectations, and the number of sellers. • If one of these factors changes, the supply curve shifts.
54.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western Summary • Market equilibrium is determined by the intersection of the supply and demand curves. • At the equilibrium price, the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied. • The behavior of buyers and sellers naturally drives markets toward their equilibrium.
55.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western Summary • To analyze how any event influences a market, we use the supply-and-demand diagram to examine how the even affects the equilibrium price and quantity. • In market economies, prices are the signals that guide economic decisions and thereby allocate resources.
