A Change in the Quantity Supplied Versus a Change in Supply: a recap
Supply Shifters are changes in:
• technology• taxes and subsidies• prices of other goods• price expectations• number of sellers

Changes in prices of other goods:• higher prices of substitutes in production
will reduce supply and vice versa

Changes in price expectations:• of the future price of a product• difficult to generalizeChanges in number of sellers:• as the number of sellers increases, so does
supply

Equilibrium As The Marriage of Supply and Demand
• Supply and demand come together to determine equilibrium quantity and equilibrium price.
![Page 7: Economics 111.3 Winter 14 January 20 th & 22 nd, 2014 Lecture 6 & 7 Ch. 3](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070416/5697c0121a28abf838ccbf9d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Equilibrium, cont’d• When quantity demanded equals quantity
supplied, prices have no tendency to change.• Equilibrium is a concept in which opposing
dynamic forces cancel each other out.• Equilibrium isn’t a state of the world—it's a
characteristic of the model used to look at the world.
• Equilibrium isn’t inherently good or bad—but simply a state in which dynamic pressures offset each other.
![Page 8: Economics 111.3 Winter 14 January 20 th & 22 nd, 2014 Lecture 6 & 7 Ch. 3](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070416/5697c0121a28abf838ccbf9d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Law of Supply and Demand
• Conventional (free market) Economics claims that the price of any good adjusts to bring the supply and demand for that good into balance.
• Excess supply – a situation in which quantity supplied is greater than quantity demanded. The same as “surplus”
• Excess demand – a situation in which quantity demanded is greater than quantity supplied. The same as “shortage”

The Law of Supply and Demand, cont’d
• The larger the difference between quantity demanded and quantity supplied, the greater the pressure for prices to rise (if there is excess demand) or fall (if there is excess supply).

Comparative Statics:
The derivation of predictions by analyzing the effect of a change on some exogenous variable(s) on the equilibrium
Rules:1. Decide whether the event
shifts the supply or demand curve (or both).
2. Decide whether the curve(s) shift(s) to the left or to the right.
3. Use the supply-and-demand diagram to see how the shift affects equilibrium price and quantity.

Comparative statics: Complex Cases
• When both supply and demand change, the effect is a combination of the individual effects
• If both demand and supply shift, one of either price or quantity cannot be predicted–-the result is indeterminate
