A Tale of a Desert…
When water is free of charge:• Miners consume lots of water. • Government is the only supplier of water.
When price of water is high:• Miners conserve and use less water.• Private sellers find new ways to sell more
water.

Demand
= How much consumers buy at various prices

Quantity Demanded vs. Demand
• Quantity demanded
= The number of units consumers purchase at a specific price over a specific time period.
• Demand
= The entire relationship between price and quantity demanded over a specific time period.

Law of Demand
• Consumers buy less of a good as its price increases and more of a good as its price decreases.
• As price increases, quantity demanded falls and as price decreases, quantity demanded rises.

Behind Demand Curve: Expectations
• What would you do if you heard that you might get a much better deal in the near future for the product you are planning to buy now?
• Osborne effect• Expectations about better deal (lower price, better
quality…) in the near future cause decrease in current demand.
= Leftward shift in the demand curve
• What would happen to demand for a product when its price is expected to increase in the near future?

Supply in Competitive Markets
Competitive markets:• Markets in which individual buyers and sellers
cannot set prices.• Firms’ primary motive is profit.• The higher the price, the greater the profit from
production.

Do You Know?
• What is the Law of Supply?
As price increases, quantity supplied rises and as price decreases, quantity supplied falls.

A change in price = change in quantity supplied.
A change in a factor other than price = change in supply.

Summary
• Increase in the price causes decrease in quantity demanded and increase in quantity supplied.
Increase in demand caused by:• Increase in price of substitutes.• Fall in price of complements.• Increase in income for normal goods.• Decrease in income for inferior goods.• Expectations of future price increase.

SummaryIncrease in supply caused by:
• Decrease in production costs.• Decrease in input prices.• Expectations of lower price in near future.• Innovations.• Increase in price of jointly produced good.• Demand curve is downward sloping.• Supply curve is upward sloping.• Increase causes shift to the right, decrease
