demanded by buyers equals total quantity supplied by sellers.Also called“market is cleared”Supply may not equal production,Market Equilibrium,p,D(p),S(p),q=D(p),Marketdemand,Marketsupply,q=S(p),Market

then it is a sales tax.,Quantity Taxes,What is the effect of a quantity tax on a markets equilibrium?How are prices affected?How is the quantity traded affected?Who pays the tax?How are gains-to-trade altered?,Quantity Taxes,A tax rate t makes the price paid by buyers,pb,higher by t from the price received by sellers,ps.,Quantity Taxes,Even with a tax the market must clear.I.e.quantity demanded by buyers at price pb must equal quantity supplied by sellers at price ps.,Quantity Taxes,and,describe the markets equilibrium.Notice that these two conditions apply nomatter if the tax is levied on
