Supply and Demand 1 Supply and Demand 1

Demand n A demand curve shows the amount of a good consumers wish to Demand n A demand curve shows the amount of a good consumers wish to purchase at specified prices. n Demand curve is downward sloping n Demand refers to the whole schedule of prices and quantity demanded. n Quantity demanded is the amount demanded at a particular price.

Supply n A supply curve shows the amount of some good sellers are willing Supply n A supply curve shows the amount of some good sellers are willing to offer at various prices. n In general, supply curve is upward sloping. n Supply refers to the whole schedule of prices and quantity supplied. n Quantity supplied is the amount supplied at a particular price.

Supply curves slope upward for one reason n The low-hanging-fruit principle. n Harvest the Supply curves slope upward for one reason n The low-hanging-fruit principle. n Harvest the lobsters closest to shore first. n More generally, as we (as sellers) expand the production of any good, we turn first to those whose opportunity costs of producing that good are lowest, and only then to others with higher opportunity costs. 10

Adding Individual Demand Curves To Get Market Demand Curves (Horizontal Addition) n Suppose that Adding Individual Demand Curves To Get Market Demand Curves (Horizontal Addition) n Suppose that there only two buyers—Smith and Jones— in the market for lobsters, and that their demand curves are as shown in the following slide. n To construct the market demand curve for lobsters, we simply announce a sequence of prices and then add the quantity demanded by each buyer at each price to obtain the total quantity demanded. 11

Excess Supply n A situation in which price exceeds its equilibrium value is called Excess Supply n A situation in which price exceeds its equilibrium value is called one of excess supply, or surplus.

From disequilibrium to equilibrium Price($/kg) D 1000 At prices below the equilibrium value, buyers From disequilibrium to equilibrium Price($/kg) D 1000 At prices below the equilibrium value, buyers cannot obtain the quantities they wish to purchase. Some buyers adjust by offering slightly higher prices. S 800 600 400 200 0 S 1 D 2 3 4 5 Quantity (kgs/month) 22

From disequilibrium to equilibrium n An extraordinary feature of this equilibrating process is that From disequilibrium to equilibrium n An extraordinary feature of this equilibrating process is that no one consciously plans or directs it. n The actual steps that consumers and producers must take to move toward equilibrium are often indescribably complex. n Suppliers looking to expand their operations, for example, must choose from a bewilderingly large menu of equipment options. n Buyers, for their part, face literally millions of choices about how to spend their money. 23

From disequilibrium to equilibrium n And yet the adjustment toward equilibrium results more or From disequilibrium to equilibrium n And yet the adjustment toward equilibrium results more or less automatically from the natural reactions of selfinterested individuals facing either surpluses or shortages. n How long does it take to arrive at equilibrium from an disequilibrium? n “The market can stay irrational a lot longer than you can stay solvent!” (John M. Keynes, referring to financial markets) 24

Determinants of Demand 1. Incomes n For most goods, the quantity demanded at any Determinants of Demand 1. Incomes n For most goods, the quantity demanded at any price will rise with income. Goods that have this property are called normal goods. 32

Determinants of Demand 1. Incomes n For inferior goods, the quantity demanded at any Determinants of Demand 1. Incomes n For inferior goods, the quantity demanded at any price will fall with income. Example: Ground beef with high fat content. Consumers abandon inferior goods in favor of higher quality substitutes (such as leaner grades of meat in the ground beef case) as soon as they can afford to. 33

Example 1 n Why do the prices of some goods, like apples, go down Example 1 n Why do the prices of some goods, like apples, go down during the months of heaviest consumption, while others, like beachfront cottages, go up? 45
