Chapter 4Demand, Supply, and Markets
![Page 2: Chapter 4](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/546374c3af79597a308b5dfc/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
The Law of Demand Law of Demand: the inverse ( or
negative) relationship between the price of a good and the quantity consumers are willing to purchase, other things held constant (ceteris paribus). As the price of a good rises, consumers
buy less.
![Page 3: Chapter 4](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/546374c3af79597a308b5dfc/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The Law of Demand The demand curve allows you to find
the quantity demanded by a buyer at different selling prices by moving along the curve
![Page 4: Chapter 4](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/546374c3af79597a308b5dfc/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Substitution Effect of a Price Change What explains this “Law of Demand?”
Lower Price= Greater Amount Consumer… Why?
Substitution effect: The consumer will substitute a cheaper good for a more expensive good.
![Page 5: Chapter 4](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/546374c3af79597a308b5dfc/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Income Effect of a Price Change Income Effect: A fall in the price of the
good increases the consumers purchasing power. The consumer can now buy more with NO
change in their income level.
![Page 6: Chapter 4](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/546374c3af79597a308b5dfc/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The Demand Schedule and Demand Curve Demand: a curve or schedule
showing the various quantities of a product consumers are willing to purchase at possible prices during a specific period of time, other things held constant. Demand is the quantity consumers are
both willing and able to buy at each possible price.
![Page 7: Chapter 4](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/546374c3af79597a308b5dfc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Market Demand Schedule A demand schedule is simply a table
listing the various quantities of something consumers are willing to purchase prices Example of the demand schedule
![Page 8: Chapter 4](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/546374c3af79597a308b5dfc/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Example of a Market Schedule Demand of Hula Hoops
Price (in Dollars) Quantity Demanded (Hula Hoops)

The Demand Curve Using the Schedule The demand curve is the plots of this
table Example of demand curve using the
demand schedule

Market Demand The transition from the individual to the
market demand curve is done by totaling or summing the individual demand schedules (this is known as the horizontal summation of demand). Example of horizontal summation
![Page 12: Chapter 4](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/546374c3af79597a308b5dfc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Horizontal Summation of Demand

Market Demand of Hula Hoops The market demand of hula hoops, is
the horizontal summation of the two individuals demand for hula hoops (i.e. the summation of quantity demanded at each individual price).
![Page 14: Chapter 4](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/546374c3af79597a308b5dfc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Changes in demand vs. changes in quantity demanded A movement along the curve- CHANGES
IN PRICE ONLY Changes in quantity demanded
Example of movement
![Page 16: Chapter 4](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/546374c3af79597a308b5dfc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Movement along the CurveA movement from $8 to
$6 represents an increase in quantity
demanded
A movement from $8 to $10 represents an decrease in
quantity demanded
![Page 17: Chapter 4](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/546374c3af79597a308b5dfc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
![Page 18: Chapter 4](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/546374c3af79597a308b5dfc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The distinction between changes in Quantity Demanded and Changes in Demand
Remember that price and quantity variables in our model are subject to the ceteris paribus assumption (other things held constant). IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER
THE FOLLOWING: If you are dealing with price of the item it
is a movement along the curve, a change in quantity demanded not DEMAND, NO SHIFT!!!!!!
![Page 19: Chapter 4](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/546374c3af79597a308b5dfc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Shifts of the Demand Curve:1) Changes in consumer income
Normal goods Inferior goods
2) Changes in the price of a related good Substitutes Complements
3) Changes in expectations- prices, income, or availability of goods.
4) Changes in the number of consumers in the market
5) Changes in consumer tastes and preferences
![Page 20: Chapter 4](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/546374c3af79597a308b5dfc/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Examples Income
Normal goods: direct relationship Inferior goods: inverse relationship
![Page 21: Chapter 4](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/546374c3af79597a308b5dfc/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Changes in Demand Most of us would consider steak to be a
normal good. Since, steak is a more expensive meat as income increases then more consumption of steak should occur.
Thus, when consumer income increases, the demand for steak increases.
![Page 22: Chapter 4](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/546374c3af79597a308b5dfc/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Inferior Goods However, we could argue that Ramon
Noodles would be an inferior good, meaning as income increases then the demand for Ramon Noodles would decline.
Thus, when income increases, then the demand of Ramon Noodles will decrease. This would be a leftward shift of the
demand curve
![Page 24: Chapter 4](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/546374c3af79597a308b5dfc/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Examples Related goods
Substitute good: if the price of the substitutable good decreases, then demand decreases for the good of interest
Complementary good: if the price of the complement good increases, then demand decreases for the good of interest.
![Page 25: Chapter 4](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/546374c3af79597a308b5dfc/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Substitute goods Let’s assume that Pepsi and Coke are
substitute goods for one another. If the price of Pepsi increases, then what
happens to the demand of Coke? The demand for Coke will increase,
because now consumers will substitute Coke for Pepsi
![Page 26: Chapter 4](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/546374c3af79597a308b5dfc/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Complementary Goods Complementary goods are goods that
we buy together, I think it is safe to say that peanut butter and jelly are bought together.
Thus, what would happen to the demand of jelly, if the price of peanut butter increased? The demand for jelly would decrease.
This is a leftward shift of the demand curve
![Page 28: Chapter 4](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/546374c3af79597a308b5dfc/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Supply Supply indicates how much producers
are willing and able to offer for sale per period at each possible price, other things held constant.
![Page 30: Chapter 4](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/546374c3af79597a308b5dfc/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Law of Supply There is a direct (positive) relationship
between the price of a good or service and the amount of it that suppliers are willing to produce. Example of the supply curve When price increases, then the amount
supplied will increase. Why are sellers willing to sell more at a
higher price? Does this make sense?
![Page 31: Chapter 4](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/546374c3af79597a308b5dfc/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Market Supply Again, it is the horizontal summation of
the quantity produced by the sellers Example of Horizontal Summation
![Page 32: Chapter 4](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/546374c3af79597a308b5dfc/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Changes in Supply VS. Changes in Quantity Supplies Increase or decrease in the price of the
good is a movement along the curve This is a change in “quantity supplied”
Example here
![Page 33: Chapter 4](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/546374c3af79597a308b5dfc/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Shifts of the Supply Curve1) Changes in Technology2) Changes in the Prices of Relevant
resources Inputs into production.
3) Changes in the Price of Alternative Goods Other goods that the producer could
produce
4) Changes in Producer Expectations5) Changes in the Number of Producers
![Page 34: Chapter 4](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/546374c3af79597a308b5dfc/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Markets A market is any arrangement in which
buyers and sellers interact to determine the price and quantity of goods and services exchanged. Markets reduce transaction costs
![Page 35: Chapter 4](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/546374c3af79597a308b5dfc/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Market Equilibrium The market is where the buyers and
sellers come together Equilibrium is no conflict between
demand and supply Quantity supplied= Quantity demand Example of the equilibrium
This is the theory of how the price system operates and it is the cornerstone of microeconomic analysis
![Page 36: Chapter 4](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/546374c3af79597a308b5dfc/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
