Prentice Hall Business Publishing Principles of Economics 9e by Case, Fair and Oster The Price System: Rationing and Allocating Resources price rationing The process by which the market system allocates goods and services to consumers when quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied. Price Rationing FIGURE 4.1 The Market for Lobsters Suppose in 2008 that 15,000 square miles of lobstering waters off the coast of Maine are closed. The supply curve shifts to the left. Before the waters are closed, the lobster market is in equilibrium at the price of $11.50 and a quantity of 81 million pounds. The decreased supply of lobster leads to higher prices, and a new equilibrium is reached at $16.10 and 60 million pounds (point B).

Prentice Hall Business Publishing Principles of Economics 9e by Case, Fair and Oster The Price System: Rationing and Allocating Resources The adjustment of price is the rationing mechanism in free markets. Price rationing means that whenever there is a need to ration a good —that is, when a shortage exists—in a free market, the price of the good will rise until quantity supplied equals quantity demanded—that is, until the market clears. FIGURE 4.2 Market for a Rare Paining There is some price that will clear any market, even if supply is strictly limited. In an auction for a unique painting, the price (bid) will rise to eliminate excess demand until there is only one bidder willing to purchase the single available painting. Some estimate that the Mona Lisa would sell for $600 million if auctioned. Price Rationing

Prentice Hall Business Publishing Principles of Economics 9e by Case, Fair and Oster The Price System: Rationing and Allocating Resources Constraints on the Market and Alternative Rationing Mechanisms On occasion, both governments and private firms decide to use some mechanism other than the market system to ration an item for which there is excess demand at the current price. Regardless of the rationale, two things are clear: 1. Attempts to bypass price rationing in the market and to use alternative rationing devices are much more difficult and costly than they would seem at first glance. 2. Very often, such attempts distribute costs and benefits among households in unintended ways.

Prentice Hall Business Publishing Principles of Economics 9e by Case, Fair and Oster The Price System: Rationing and Allocating Resources Oil, Gasoline, and OPEC price ceiling A maximum price that sellers may charge for a good, usually set by government. Constraints on the Market and Alternative Rationing Mechanisms FIGURE 4.3 Excess Demand (Shortage) Created by a Price Ceiling In 1974, a ceiling price of $0.57 cents per gallon of leaded regular gasoline was imposed. If the price had been set by the interaction of supply and demand instead, it would have increased to approximately $1.50 per gallon. At $0.57 per gallon, the quantity demanded exceeded the quantity supplied. Because the price system was not allowed to function, an alternative rationing system had to be found to distribute the available supply of gasoline.

The Staples Center holds 20,000. The supply curve is vertical at 20,000. At $50, the quantity supplied is below the quantity demanded. The diagram shows that the quantity demanded and the quantity supplied would be equal at $300. The Web shows that one ticket could be worth $16,000.

Prentice Hall Business Publishing Principles of Economics 9e by Case, Fair and Oster The Price System: Rationing and Allocating Resources No matter how good the intentions of private organizations and governments, it is very difficult to prevent the price system from operating and to stop willingness to pay from asserting itself. Every time an alternative is tried, the price system seems to sneak in the back door. With favored customers and black markets, the final distribution may be even more unfair than that which would result from simple price rationing.

Prentice Hall Business Publishing Principles of Economics 9e by Case, Fair and Oster The Price System: Rationing and Allocating Resources Prices and the Allocation of Resources Price changes resulting from shifts of demand in output markets cause profits to rise or fall. Profits attract capital; losses lead to disinvestment. Higher wages attract labor and encourage workers to acquire skills. At the core of the system, supply, demand, and prices in input and output markets determine the allocation of resources and the ultimate combinations of things produced.

Prentice Hall Business Publishing Principles of Economics 9e by Case, Fair and Oster The Price Mechanism at Work for Shakespeare Every summer, New York City puts on free performances of Shakespeare in the Park. The true cost of a ticket is $0 plus the opportunity cost of the time spent in line. Students can produce tickets relatively cheaply by waiting in line. They can then turn around and sell those tickets to the high-wage Shakespeare lovers. The Price System: Rationing and Allocating Resources Prices and the Allocation of Resources

Prentice Hall Business Publishing Principles of Economics 9e by Case, Fair and Oster Supply and Demand Analysis: An Oil Import Fee FIGURE 4.5 The U.S. Market for Crude Oil, 1989 At a world price of $18, domestic production is 7.7 million barrels per day and the total quantity of oil demanded in the United States is 13.6 million barrels per day. The difference is total imports (5.9 million barrels per day). If the government levies a 33 1/3 percent tax on imports, the price of a barrel of oil rises to $24. The quantity demanded falls to 12.2 million barrels per day. At the same time, the quantity supplied by domestic producers increases to 9.0 million barrels per day and the quantity imported falls to 3.2 million barrels per day.

Prentice Hall Business Publishing Principles of Economics 9e by Case, Fair and Oster Supply and Demand and Market Efficiency Consumer Surplus FIGURE 4.6 Market Demand and Consumer Surplus As illustrated in Figure 4.6(a), some consumers (see point A) are willing to pay as much as $5.00 each for hamburgers. Since the market price is just $2.50, they receive a consumer surplus of $2.50 for each hamburger that they consume. Others (see point B) are willing to pay something less than $5.00 and receive a slightly smaller surplus. Since the market price of hamburgers is just $2.50, the area of the shaded triangle in Figure 4.6(b) is equal to total consumer surplus.

Since they are paid $2.50, they earn a producer surplus equal to $1.75. Other producers are willing to supply hamburgers at a price of $1.00; they receive a producer surplus equal to $1.50. Since the market price of hamburgers is $2.50, the area of the shaded triangle in Figure 4.7(b) is equal to total producer surplus.

Prentice Hall Business Publishing Principles of Economics 9e by Case, Fair and Oster Supply and Demand and Market Efficiency Figure 4.9(a) shows the consequences of producing 4 million hamburgers per month instead of 7 million hamburgers per month. Total producer and consumer surplus is reduced by the area of triangle ABC shaded in yellow. This is called the deadweight loss from underproduction. Figure 4.9(b) shows the consequences of producing 10 million hamburgers per month instead of 7 million hamburgers per month. As production increases from 7 million to 10 million hamburgers, the full cost of production rises above consumers’ willingness to pay, resulting in a deadweight loss equal to the area of triangle ABC.

Prentice Hall Business Publishing Principles of Economics 9e by Case, Fair and Oster Supply and Demand and Market Efficiency Potential Causes of Deadweight Loss From Under- and Overproduction When supply and demand interact freely, competitive markets produce what people want at least cost, that is, they are efficient. There are a number of naturally occurring sources of market failure. Monopoly power gives firms the incentive to underproduce and overprice, taxes and subsidies may distort consumer choices, external costs such as pollution and congestion may lead to over- or underproduction of some goods, and artificial price floors and price ceilings may have the same effects.
