Demand, Supply, and Market Equilibrium
03
Markets
• Interaction between buyers and sellers
• Markets may be:• Local• National• International
• Price is discovered in the interactions of buyers and sellers
LO1 3-2
Demand
• Schedule or curve• Amount consumers are willing and
able to purchase at a given price• Other things equal• Individual demand• Market demand
LO1 3-3
Law of Demand
• Other things equal, as price falls, the quantity demanded rises, and as price rises, the quantity demanded falls.
• Reasons:• Common sense• Law of diminishing marginal utility• Income effect and substitution effects

Change in Demand
Change in Quantity Demanded
3-8
Determinants of Demand
• Change in consumer tastes and preferences
• Change in number of buyers• Change in income
• Normal goods• Inferior goods
LO1 3-9
Determinants of Demand
• Change in prices of related goods• Complements• Substitutes
• Change in consumers’ expectations• Future prices• Future income
LO1 3-10
Determinants of Demand
LO1
Table 3.1 Determinants of Demand: Factors That Shift the Demand CurveDeterminant ExamplesChange in buyers’ tastes Physical fitness rises in popularity, increasing the
demand for jogging shoes and bicycles; cell phone popularity rises, reducing the demand for land-line phones.
Change in the number of buyers A decline in the birthrate reduces the demand for children’s toys.
Change in income A rise in incomes increases the demand for normal goods such as restaurant meals, sports tickets, and necklaces while reducing the demand for inferior goods such as cabbage, turnips, and inexpensive wine.
Change in the prices of related goods
A reduction in airfares reduces the demand for bus transportation (substitute goods); a decline in the price of DVD players increases the demand for DVD movies (complementary goods).
Change in consumer expectations Inclement weather in South America creates an expectation of higher future coffee bean prices, thereby increasing today’s demand for coffee beans.
3-11
Supply
• Schedule or curve• Amount producers are willing and
able to sell at a given price• Individual supply• Market supply
LO2 3-12
Law of Supply
• Other things equal, as the price rises, the quantity supplied rises and as the price falls, the quantity supplied falls.
• Reason:• Price acts as an incentive to
producers• At some point, costs will rise

Determinants of Supply
• A change in resource prices• A change in technology• A change in the number of sellers• A change in taxes and subsidies• A change in prices of other goods• A change in producer expectations
LO2 3-17
Determinants of Supply
LO2
Table 3.2 Determinants of Supply: Factors That Shift the Supply CurveDeterminant ExamplesChange in resource prices A decrease in the price of microchips increases the
supply of computers; an increase in the price of crude oil reduces the supply of gasoline.
Change in technology The development of more effective wireless technology increases the supply of cell phones.
Change in taxes and subsidies An increase in the excise tax on cigarettes reduces the supply of cigarettes; a decline in subsidies to state universities reduces the supply of higher education.
Change in prices of other goods An increase in the price of cucumbers decreases the supply of watermelons.
Change in producer expectations An expectation of a substantial rise in future log prices decreases the supply of logs today.
Change in the number of suppliers An increase in the number of tattoo parlors increases the supply of tattoos; the formation of women’s professional basketball leagues increases the supply of women’s professional basketball games.

Market Equilibrium
• Equilibrium occurs where the demand curve and supply curve intersect.
• Surplus and shortage• Rationing function of prices• Efficient allocation
• Productive efficiency• Allocative efficiency

Rationing Functions of Prices
• The ability of the competitive forces of demand and supply to establish a price at which selling and buying decisions are consistent.
LO3 3-21
Efficient Allocation
• Productive efficiency• Producing goods in the least costly way• Using the best technology• Using the right mix of resources
• Allocative Efficiency• Producing the right mix of goods• The combination of goods most highly
valued by society

• Positive effects• Increase the incentive to donate• Eliminate the persistent shortage of
eyes, livers, hearts, kidneys, etc.

Legal Market for Human Organs
• Negative effects• Increases the cost of medical care• Diminishes the special nature of life
by commercializing it
