7 Definition Supply and Demand refer to the behavior of buyers and sellers as they interact with one another in competitive markets. Supply and Demand are the forces that make market economies work. Supply and Demand determine the quantity of each item produced and the price at which it is sold. Supply and demand determine prices in a market economy and prices allocate the economy s scarce resources. Sherif Khalifa () Market Forces 7 / 62

8 Definition A market is a group of buyers and sellers of a particular good or service. The buyers as a group determine the demand for the product. The sellers as a group determine the supply of the product. Definition In a competitive market, the goods offered for sale are identical, and the buyers and sellers are so numerous that no single buyer or seller has any influence over the market price. Because buyers and sellers must accept the price the market determines, they are said to be price takers. Sherif Khalifa () Market Forces 8 / 62

11 Definition The quantity demanded of any good or service is the amount of the good that buyers are willing and able to purchase. Definition The law of demand is the claim that, other things equal, when the price of a good increases the quantity demanded of the good also decreases, and when the price decreases the quantity demanded increases. demanded demanded Sherif Khalifa () Market Forces 11 / 62

12 Definition The demand schedule is a table that shows the relationship between the price and the quantity demanded Definition The demand curve is a graph of the relationship between the price and the quantity demanded. Sherif Khalifa () Market Forces 12 / 62

25 Definition A normal good is a good for which, other things equal, an increase in income leads to an increase in demand. Income Demanded Income Demanded Definition An inferior good is a good for which, other things equal, an increase in income leads to a decrease in demand. Income Demanded Income Demanded Sherif Khalifa () Market Forces 25 / 62

26 Definition Substitutes are two goods for which an increase in the price of one leads to an increase in the demand for the other. Substitutes are pairs of goods that are used in place of each other. of a Substitute Demanded of a Substitute Demanded Definition Complements are two goods for which an increase in the price of one leads to a decrease in the demand for the other. Complements are pairs of goods that are used together. of a Complement Demanded of a Complement Demanded Sherif Khalifa () Market Forces 26 / 62

27 Shift in tastes toward a good or a service affect the demand for that good or service. Expectations about future income or future prices affect the demand for a good or a service. If the number of buyers change, the quantity demanded in the market would change at every price. Sherif Khalifa () Market Forces 27 / 62

28 Definition The quantity supplied of any good or service is the amount that sellers are willing and able to sell. Definition The law of supply is the claim that, other things equal, when the price of a good increases the quantity supplied of the good also increases, and when the price decreases the quantity supplied decreases. supplied supplied Sherif Khalifa () Market Forces 28 / 62

42 When the price of one or more of the inputs increases, producing is less profitable and firms supply less. By decreasing the firm s costs, the advance in technology increases the supply. If a firm expects the price of a good to increase in the future, it will put some of its current production into storage and supply less to the market today. As the number of sellers increases, the supply increases as well. Sherif Khalifa () Market Forces 42 / 62

43 Definition Equilibrium is a situation in which the market price has reached the level at which the quantity supplied equals the quantity demanded. At the equilibrium price, the quantity of the good that buyers are willing and able to buy exactly balances the quantity that sellers are willing and able to sell. Equilibrium price is the price that balances the quantity supplied and the quantity demanded. Equilibrum price is called the market clearing price. At the equilibrium price, buyers have bought all they want to buy and sellers have sold all they want to sell. Equilibrium quantity is the quantity supplied and the quantity demanded at the equilibrium price. Sherif Khalifa () Market Forces 43 / 62

44 Definition The law of supply and demand is the claim that the price of the good adjusts to bring the quantity supplied and the quantity demanded into balance. Demand Supply Sherif Khalifa () Market Forces 44 / 62

57 Government Buyers want a lower price, while sellers want a higher price. If the buyers are successful in their lobbying, the government imposes a legal maximum on the price. This maximum price is called price ceiling. If the sellers are successful in their lobbying, the government imposes a legal minimum on the price. This minimum price is called price flooring.
