BACK TO
Demand
Demand represents the behavior of
buyers.
A Demand Curve shows the quantity
demanded at different prices.
The Quantity Demanded: the quantity
that buyers are willing (and able) to
purchase at a particular price.

Reading Demand Curves
Demand curves can be read in two
ways:
Horizontally: How much buyers are
willing and able to purchase at a
certain price.
Vertically: The highest price buyers are
willing to pay for a certain quantity.

BACK TO
Intuition of the Demand Curve
When the price is high,
oil will only be used in
the high value
products. If the price
falls, oil will also be
used in lower value
products.

Consumer Surplus
Consumer Surplus is the consumer’s
gain from exchange,
the difference between the highest
price a consumer will pay at a given
quantity and the actual market price.
Total consumer surplus is the sum of
consumer surplus of all buyers.

What Shifts the Demand Curve?
An “increase in demand” means
that consumers buy more at every
price level, (or consumers are willing
to pay more for each quantity.)
On the graph: the demand curve shifts
outwards, up, and to the right.
14
BACK TO
What Shifts the Demand Curve?
A “decrease in demand” means that
consumers buy less at every price
level, (or they reduce the price
they’re willing to pay for a given
quantity.)
On the graph: the demand curve shifts
inwards, down, and to the left.

Important Demand Shifters:
1. Income
2. Population
3. Price of Substitutes
4. Price of Complements
5. Expectations
6. Tastes
18
BACK TO
Important Demand Shifters:
Income
1. The effect of changes in income on
demand depends on the nature of
the good in question.
A Normal Good: demand increases
when income increases (and vice
versa).
An Inferior Good: demand decreases
when income increases (and vice
versa)
19

When the price of petroleum goes up,
the demand for natural gas ______, the
demand for coal ______, and the
demand for solar power ______.
a) increases; increases; increases
b) increases; increases; decreases
c) decreases; decreases; increases
d) decreases; decreases; decreases

Important Demand Shifters:
Population
2. As the population of an economy
changes, the # of buyers of a
particular good also changes,
(thereby changing its demand.)
What happens to the demand for
diapers in Russia as birth rates drop?
21
BACK TO
Important Demand Shifters:
Price of Substitutes
3. Two goods are Substitutes if a
decrease in the price of one leads
to a decrease in demand for the
other (or vice versa).
- What happens to the demand for
travel in Hawaii if the (perceived)
safety cost of traveling to Mexico
increases?
22
BACK TO
Important Demand Shifters:
Price of Complements
4. Two goods are Complements if a
decrease in the price of one good
leads to an increase in the
demand for the other (or vice
versa).
What happens to the demand for Sport
Utility Vehicles when gasoline gets
more expensive?
23
BACK TO
Price of Complements
Consumers often have to buy goods
together.
An increase in price of gasoline will
decrease the demand for SUVs
24
BACK TO
Important Demand Shifters:
Expectations
5. The expectation of a higher (lower)
price for a good in the future increases
(decreases) current demand for the
good.
Consumers will adjust their current
spending in anticipation of the direction of
future prices in order to obtain the lowest
possible price.
If prices for Xbox 360 consoles are expected
to drop right before Christmas, what will
happen to sales during November?
25
BACK TO
Important Demand Shifters:
Tastes
6. Tastes and preferences are
subjective and will vary among
consumers.
Seasonal changes or fads have
predictable effects on demand.
What happens to demand for boots
in October? To carbohydrates during
the Atkins diet fad? Or to Acai
berries after newly perceived health
benefits?
26
BACK TO
What Shifts the Demand Curve?
A “change in quantity demanded” is NOT the
same as a “change in demand.”
“Quantity demanded” changes only when
the price of a good changes.
It is a movement along a fixed demand curve.
“Demand” changes only when a non-price
factor (demand shifter) changes.
It is a shift in the entire demand curve.

Supply
What made this oil field happen?
29
BACK TO
Supply
Supply represents the behavior of
sellers.
A Supply Curve shows the quantity
supplied at different prices.
The Quantity Supplied is the quantity
that producers are willing and able to
sell at a particular price.
30
BACK TO
Law of Supply
What do you think happens to the
quantity of human organs donated in
Israel when the government issues a point
system that rewards donors?
The Law of Supply: there is a direct
relationship between price and quantity
supplied.
When price rises, all else equal, quantity
supplied rises and vice versa

Reading Supply Curves
Supply curves can be read in two
ways:
Horizontally: How much suppliers are
willing and able to sell at a certain
price.
Vertically: The minimum price for which
suppliers are willing to sell a certain
quantity.
33
BACK TO
Supply Curves
Why is the supply curve upward
sloping?
The cost of producing a good is not
equal across all suppliers.
At a low price, a good is produced
and sold only by the lowest cost
suppliers.
At a high price, a good is also
produced and sold by higher cost
suppliers.

Producer Surplus
Producer Surplus is the producer’s gain
from exchange
the difference between the market price and
the minimum price at which producers would
be willing to sell a certain quantity.
Total producer surplus is the sum of the
producer surplus of each seller.
Graphically, total producer surplus is
measured by the area above the supply
curve and below the price.

3. Taxes and Subsidies
4. Expectations
5. Entry or Exit of Producers
6. Changes in Opportunity Costs
42
BACK TO
Important Supply Shifters:
Technological Innovations
1. A technological innovation makes
sellers willing to offer more at a given
price, or sell a their quantity at a lower
price.
A technological innovation lowers costs
and increases supply.
43
BACK TO
Production Technology
Supply will increase for products
when technology improves
Examples: Computers, gaming systems, laser
hair removal, flat screen TVs.
44
BACK TO
Important Supply Shifters:
Input Prices
2. A decrease in the price of an input (all
else equal) increases profits and
encourages more supply (and vice
versa)
What will happen to the amount of new
businesses if the government reduces the
fees and red tape associated with new
business licenses? What happens if the fees
rise?
45
BACK TO
Important Supply Shifters:
Taxes and Subsidies
3. A tax on output reduces profit and
makes sellers less willing to supply at a
given price, unless they can effectively
raise the price without losing any sales.
(for now, assume they cannot)
A tax on output raises costs and decreases
supply.
Graph the effect on supply of a new cigarette
tax in your notes.
46
BACK TO
Important Supply Shifters:
Taxes and Subsidies
A subsidy on production makes sellers
willing to supply a greater quantity at a
given price, or the subsidy allows
producers to sell a given quantity at a
lower price.
A subsidy on production lowers costs and
increases supply.
Graph the effect on supply of a new subsidy
to fast food producers aimed at helping them
market and sell overseas.
47
BACK TO
Taxes and Subsidies
Taxes and subsidies affect profits and
therefore supply.
A 10% yacht tax reduced the supply of yachts
53% in the early 1990s.

Important Supply Shifters:
Expectations
4. The expectation of a higher price for a
good in the future decreases current
supply of the good – if they can store
the good- (and vice versa).
Sellers will adjust their current offerings in
anticipation of the direction of future
prices in order to obtain the highest
possible price.
51
BACK TO
Future Expectations
A change in producers’ expectations
about profitability will affect supply
curves
Windmill production increases as
producers expect sales and profitability
to increase.

Important Supply Shifters:
Entry or Exit of Producers
5. As producers enter and exit the
market, the overall supply changes.
Entry implies more sellers in the market
increasing supply.
Exit implies fewer sellers in the market
decreasing supply.

in California if the drug is legalized for general
use?

Changes in Opportunity Costs
6. Inputs used in production have opportunity
costs. Sellers will choose to use those inputs
where the profit is the highest
Sellers will supply less of a good if the price of
an alternate good using the same inputs rises
(and vice versa).
Sellers always chase the highest profit goods.
