WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS CHAPTER
What a competitive market is and how it is described by the supply and demand model
What the demand curve and supply curve are The difference between movements along a
curve and shifts of a curve How the supply and demand curves determine a
market’s equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity
In the case of a shortage or surplus, how price moves the market back to equilibrium

Supply and Demand
A competitive market: Many buyers and sellers Same good or service
The supply and demand model is a model of how a competitive market works.
Five key elements: Demand curve Supply curve Demand and supply curve shifts Market equilibrium Changes in the market equilibrium

GLOBAL COMPARISON
Pay More, Pump Less…
Because of high taxes, gasoline and diesel fuel are more than twice as expensive in most European countries as in the United States.
According to the law of demand, Europeans should buy less gasoline than Americans, and they do: Europeans consume less than half as much fuel as Americans, mainly because they drive smaller cars with better mileage.

An Increase in Demand An increase in the
population and other factors generate an increase in demand – a rise in the quantity demanded at any given price.
This is represented by the two demand schedules - one showing demand in 2002, before the rise in population, the other showing demand in 2006, after the rise in population.

What Causes a Demand Curve to Shift?
Changes in the Prices of Related Goods Substitutes: Two goods are substitutes if a fall in the
price of one of the goods makes consumers less willing to buy the other good.
Complements: Two goods are complements if a fall in the price of one good makes people more willing to buy the other good.

What Causes a Demand Curve to Shift?
Changes in Income Normal Goods: When a rise in income increases the
demand for a good - the normal case - we say that the good is a normal good.
Inferior Goods: When a rise in income decreases the demand for a good, it is an inferior good.

An Increase in Supply The entry of Vietnam
into the coffee bean business generated an increase in supply—a rise in the quantity supplied at any given price.
This event is represented by the two supply schedules—one showing supply before Vietnam’s entry, the other showing supply after Vietnam came in.

Supply, Demand and Equilibrium
Equilibrium in a competitive market: when the quantity demanded of a good equals the quantity supplied of that good.
The price at which this takes place is the equilibrium price (a.k.a. market-clearing price):
Every buyer finds a seller and vice versa.
The quantity of the good bought and sold at that price is the equilibrium quantity.
23 of 42
Market equilibrium occurs at point E, where the supply curve and the demand curve intersect.

The Price of Admission: • Compare the box office price for a recent Justin Timberlake
concert in Miami, Florida, to the StubHub.com price for seats in the same location: $88.50 versus $155.
• Why is there such a big difference in prices? For major events, buying tickets from the box office means waiting in very long lines. Ticket buyers who use Internet resellers have decided that the opportunity cost of their time is too high to spend waiting in line. For those major events with online box offices selling tickets at face value, tickets often sell out within minutes.
• In this case, some people who want to go to the concert badly but have missed out on the opportunity to buy cheaper tickets from the online box office are willing to pay the higher Internet reseller price.

The “war on drugs” shifts the supply curve to the left.
However, we can see by comparing the original equilibrium E1 with the new equilibrium E2 that the actual reduction in the quantity of drugs supplied is much smaller than the shift of the supply curve.
The equilibrium price has risen from P1 to P2, and this induces suppliers to provide drugs despite the risks.

The Great Tortilla Crises: • A sharp rise in the price of tortillas, a staple food of Mexico’s
poor, which had gone from 25 cents a pound to between 35 and 45 cents a pound in just a few months in early 2007.
Why were tortilla prices soaring? • It was a classic example of what happens to equilibrium
prices when supply falls. Tortillas are made from corn; much of Mexico’s corn is imported from the United States, with the price of corn in both countries basically set in the U.S. corn market. And U.S. corn prices were rising rapidly thanks to surging demand in a new market: the market for ethanol.

A recent drought in Australia reduced the amount of grass on which Australian dairy cows could feed, thus limiting the amount of milk these cows produced for export.
At the same time, a new tax levied by the government of Argentina raised the price of the milk the country exported, thereby decreasing Argentine milk sales worldwide.
These two developments produced a supply shortage in the world market, which dairy farmers in Europe couldn’t fill because of strict production quotas set by the European Union.

In China, meanwhile, demand for milk and milk products increased, as rising income levels drove higher per-capita consumption.
All these occurrences resulted in a strong upward pressure on the price of milk everywhere in 2007.

SUMMARY
1. The supply and demand model illustrates how a competitive market works.
2. The demand schedule shows the quantity demanded at each price and is represented graphically by a demand curve. The law of demand says that demand curves slope downward.
3. A movement along the demand curve occurs when a price change leads to a change in the quantity demanded. When economists talk of increasing or decreasing demand, they mean shifts of the demand curve—a change in the quantity demanded at any given price.
42 of 42
SUMMARY
4. There are five main factors that shift the demand curve:• A change in the prices of related goods or services• A change in income• A change in tastes• A change in expectations• A change in the number of consumers
5. The market demand curve for a good or service is the horizontal sum of the individual demand curves of all consumers in the market.
6. The supply schedule shows the quantity supplied at each price and is represented graphically by a supply curve. Supply curves usually slope upward.

SUMMARY
7. A movement along the supply curve occurs when a price change leads to a change in the quantity supplied. When economists talk of increasing or decreasing supply, they mean shifts of the supply curve—a change in the quantity supplied at any given price.
8. There are five main factors that shift the supply curve:• A change in input prices• A change in the prices of related goods and services• A change in technology• A change in expectations• A change in the number of producers
9. The market supply curve for a good or service is the horizontal sum of the individual supply curves of all producers in the market.
44 of 42
SUMMARY
10. The supply and demand model is based on the principle that the price in a market moves to its equilibrium price, or market-clearing price, the price at which the quantity demanded is equal to the quantity supplied. This quantity is the equilibrium quantity. When the price is above its market-clearing level, there is a surplus that pushes the price down. When the price is below its market-clearing level, there is a shortage that pushes the price up.
11. An increase in demand increases both the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity; a decrease in demand has the opposite effect. An increase in supply reduces the equilibrium price and increases the equilibrium quantity; a decrease in supply has the opposite effect.
12. Shifts of the demand curve and the supply curve can happen simultaneously.

SUMMARY
• Named by Hungarian-born economist Nicholas Kaldor (1908-1986), cobweb theory stems from a simple dynamic model of cyclical demand which involves time lags between the response of production and a change in price (most often seen in agricultural sectors).
• Cobweb theory focuses on the process of adjustment in markets by tracing the path of prices and outputs in different equilibrium situations. It is so named because its graphic representation resembles a cobweb with the equilibrium point at the center of the cobweb. It is sometimes referred to as the hog-cycle (after the phenomenon observed in American pig prices during the 1930s).

SUMMARY
• LAW OF DIMINISHING MARGINAL UTILITY
What Does Law Of Diminishing Marginal Utility Mean?A law of economics stating that as a person increases consumption of a product - while keeping consumption of other products constant - there is a decline in the marginal utility (usefulness/need) that person derives from consuming each additional unit of that product.
47 of 42
SUMMARY
This is the premise on which buffet-style restaurants operate. They entice you with "all you can eat," all the while knowing each additional plate of food provides less utility than the one before. And despite their enticement, most people will eat only until the utility they derive from additional food is slightly lower than the original.
For example, say you go to a buffet and the first plate of food you eat is very good. On a scale of ten you would give it a ten. Now your hunger has been somewhat tamed, but you get another full plate of food. Since you're not as hungry, your enjoyment rates at a seven at best. Most people would stop before their utility drops even more, but say you go back to eat a third full plate of food and your utility drops even more to a three. If you kept eating, you would eventually reach a point at which your eating makes you sick, providing dissatisfaction, or 'dis-utility'.
