MARKETS AND COMPETITION
• Buyers determine demand.
• Sellers determine supply
![Page 3: 4 The Market Forces of Supply and Demand. MARKETS AND COMPETITION Buyers determine demand. Sellers determine supply](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56649ebd5503460f94bc6e81/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
DEMAND
• Quantity demanded is the amount of a good that buyers are willing and able to purchase at a given price.
• Law of Demand• The law of demand states that, other things equal,
the quantity demanded of a good falls when the price of the good rises.
• P ↑ => Qd ↓

Individual demand decisions
• Example: Demand for ice-cream

The Demand Curve: The Relationship between Price and Quantity Demanded
• Demand Curve • The demand curve is a graph of the relationship
between the price of a good and the quantity demanded.

Market Demand versus Individual Demand
• Market demand refers to the sum of all individual demands for a particular good or service.
• Graphically, individual demand curves are summed horizontally to obtain the market demand curve.

Shifts in the Demand Curve
• Consumer income
• Prices of related goods• Substitutes
• Complements
• Tastes
• Expectations
• Number of buyers
![Page 10: 4 The Market Forces of Supply and Demand. MARKETS AND COMPETITION Buyers determine demand. Sellers determine supply](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56649ebd5503460f94bc6e81/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Shifts in the Demand Curve
• Consumer Income• As income increases the demand for a normal good
will increase.• As income increases the demand for an inferior
good will decrease.
![Page 11: 4 The Market Forces of Supply and Demand. MARKETS AND COMPETITION Buyers determine demand. Sellers determine supply](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56649ebd5503460f94bc6e81/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Shifts in the Demand Curve
• Prices of Related Goods• When a fall in the price of one good reduces the
demand for another good, the two goods are called substitutes.
• When a fall in the price of one good increases the demand for another good, the two goods are called complements.

SUPPLY
• Quantity supplied is the amount of a good that sellers are willing and able to sell at a given price.
• Law of Supply• The law of supply states that, other things equal, the
quantity supplied of a good rises when the price of the good rises.
• P ↑ => Qs ↑

Market Supply versus Individual Supply
• Market supply refers to the sum of all individual supplies for all sellers of a particular good or service.
• Graphically, individual supply curves are summed horizontally to obtain the market supply curve.

price.

SUPPLY AND DEMAND TOGETHER
• Equilibrium Price• The price that balances quantity supplied and
quantity demanded. • On a graph, it is the price at which the supply and
demand curves intersect.
• Equilibrium Quantity• The quantity supplied and the quantity demanded at
the equilibrium price. • On a graph it is the quantity at which the supply and
demand curves intersect.

Three Steps to Analyzing Changes in Equilibrium
• Decide whether the event shifts the supply or demand curve (or both).
• Decide whether the curve(s) shift(s) to the left or to the right.
• Use the supply-and-demand diagram to see how the shift affects equilibrium price and quantity.

Three Steps to Analyzing Changes in Equilibrium
• Shifts in Curves versus Movements along Curves• A shift in the supply curve is called a change in
supply.• A movement along a fixed supply curve is called a
change in quantity supplied.• A shift in the demand curve is called a change in
demand.• A movement along a fixed demand curve is called a
change in quantity demanded.

Competitive Markets
• A competitive market is a market in which there are many buyers and sellers so that each has a negligible impact on the market price.
• Demand and Supply analysis applies to competitive markets
![Page 30: 4 The Market Forces of Supply and Demand. MARKETS AND COMPETITION Buyers determine demand. Sellers determine supply](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56649ebd5503460f94bc6e81/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• Perfect Competition• Products are the same• Numerous buyers and sellers so that each has no
influence over price• Buyers and Sellers are price takers• No barriers to entry
• Monopoly• One seller, and seller controls price
Competition: Perfect and Otherwise
![Page 31: 4 The Market Forces of Supply and Demand. MARKETS AND COMPETITION Buyers determine demand. Sellers determine supply](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56649ebd5503460f94bc6e81/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• Oligopoly• Few sellers• Partially differentiated product• Good communication between sellers• Barriers to entry

Control over prices
• Monopoly - strong
• Oligopoly - medium
• Monopolistic competition - limited
• Perfect Competition - none
