1、The Market Forces of Supply and Demand,Economics,P R I N C I P L E S O F,N.Gregory Mankiw,4,In this chapter,look for the answers to these questions:,What factors affect buyers demand for goods?What factors affect sellers supply of goods?How do supply and demand determine the price of a good and the

2、quantity sold?How do changes in the factors that affect demand or supply affect the market price and quantity of a good?How do markets allocate resources?,1,THE MARKET FORCES OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND,2,Markets and Competition,A market is a group of buyers and sellers of a particular product.A competitiv

3、e market is one with many buyers and sellers,each has a negligible effect on price.In a perfectly competitive market:All goods exactly the sameBuyers&sellers so numerous that no one can affect market price each is a“price taker”In this chapter,we assume markets are perfectly competitive.,0,THE MARKE

11、and hamburgers.An increase in the price of pizza increases demand for hamburgers,shifting hamburger demand curve to the right.Other examples:Coke and Pepsi,laptops and desktop computers,CDs and music downloads,Demand Curve Shifters:Prices of Related Goods,0,THE MARKET FORCES OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND,13,

12、Two goods are complements if an increase in the price of one causes a fall in demand for the other.Example:computers and software.If price of computers rises,people buy fewer computers,and therefore less software.Software demand curve shifts left.Other examples:college tuition and textbooks,bagels a

14、 an increase in demand for eggs,shifted the egg demand curve to the right.,Demand Curve Shifters:Tastes,0,THE MARKET FORCES OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND,15,Expectations affect consumers buying decisions.Examples:If people expect their incomes to rise,their demand for meals at expensive restaurants may incre

35、upply-demand diagram to see how the shift changes eqm P and Q.,THE MARKET FORCES OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND,41,EXAMPLE:The Market for Hybrid Cars,THE MARKET FORCES OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND,42,STEP 1:D curve shifts because price of gas affects demand for hybrids.S curve does not shift,because price of gas does

36、 not affect cost of producing hybrids.,STEP 2:D shifts rightbecause high gas price makes hybrids more attractive relative to other cars.,EXAMPLE 1:A Shift in Demand,EVENT TO BE ANALYZED:Increase in price of gas.,STEP 3:The shift causes an increase in price and quantity of hybrid cars.,THE MARKET FOR

37、CES OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND,43,EXAMPLE 1:A Shift in Demand,P2,Q2,Notice:When P rises,producers supply a larger quantity of hybrids,even though the S curve has not shifted.,Always be careful to distinguish b/w a shift in a curve and a movement along the curve.,Terms for Shift vs.Movement Along Curve,Cha

38、nge in supply:a shift in the S curveoccurs when a non-price determinant of supply changes(like technology or costs)Change in the quantity supplied:a movement along a fixed S curve occurs when P changes Change in demand:a shift in the D curveoccurs when a non-price determinant of demand changes(like

39、income or#of buyers)Change in the quantity demanded:a movement along a fixed D curveoccurs when P changes,44,THE MARKET FORCES OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND,45,STEP 1:S curve shifts because event affects cost of production.D curve does not shift,because production technology is not one of the factors that af

40、fect demand.,STEP 2:S shifts rightbecause event reduces cost,makes production more profitable at any given price.,EXAMPLE 2:A Shift in Supply,EVENT:New technology reduces cost of producing hybrid cars.,STEP 3:The shift causes price to fall and quantity to rise.,THE MARKET FORCES OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND

41、,46,EXAMPLE 3:A Shift in Both Supply and Demand,EVENTS:price of gas rises AND new technology reduces production costs,STEP 1:Both curves shift.,STEP 2:Both shift to the right.,STEP 3:Q rises,but effect on P is ambiguous:If demand increases more than supply,P rises.,THE MARKET FORCES OF SUPPLY AND DE

42、MAND,47,EXAMPLE 3:A Shift in Both Supply and Demand,STEP 3,cont.,EVENTS:price of gas rises AND new technology reduces production costs,But if supply increases more than demand,P falls.,A C T I V E L E A R N I N G 3 Shifts in supply and demand,48,Use the three-step method to analyze the effects of ea

43、ch event on the equilibrium price and quantity of music downloads.Event A:A fall in the price of CDsEvent B:Sellers of music downloads negotiate a reduction in the royalties they must pay for each song they sell.Event C:Events A and B both occur.,THE MARKET FORCES OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND,49,CONCLUSION:

44、How Prices Allocate Resources,One of the Ten Principles from Chapter 1:Markets are usually a good way to organize economic activity.,In market economies,prices adjust to balance supply and demand.These equilibrium prices are the signals that guide economic decisions and thereby allocate scarce resou

45、rces.,CHAPTER SUMMARY,A competitive market has many buyers and sellers,each of whom has little or no influence on the market price.Economists use the supply and demand model to analyze competitive markets.The downward-sloping demand curve reflects the Law of Demand,which states that the quantity buy

46、ers demand of a good depends negatively on the goods price.,50,CHAPTER SUMMARY,Besides price,demand depends on buyers incomes,tastes,expectations,the prices of substitutes and complements,and number of buyers.If one of these factors changes,the D curve shifts.The upward-sloping supply curve reflects

47、 the Law of Supply,which states that the quantity sellers supply depends positively on the goods price.Other determinants of supply include input prices,technology,expectations,and the#of sellers.Changes in these factors shift the S curve.,51,CHAPTER SUMMARY,The intersection of S and D curves determ

48、ines the market equilibrium.At the equilibrium price,quantity supplied equals quantity demanded.If the market price is above equilibrium,a surplus results,which causes the price to fall.If the market price is below equilibrium,a shortage results,causing the price to rise.,52,CHAPTER SUMMARY,We can u

49、se the supply-demand diagram to analyze the effects of any event on a market:First,determine whether the event shifts one or both curves.Second,determine the direction of the shifts.Third,compare the new equilibrium to the initial one.In market economies,prices are the signals that guide economic decisions and allocate scarce resources.,53,
