Basis for Demand

Direct Demand



Demand is the quantity customers are willing
to buy under current market conditions.
Direct demand is demand for consumption.
Derived Demand


Derived demand is input demand.
Firms demand inputs that can be profitably
employed.
Market Demand Function

Determinants of Demand


Demand is determined by price, prices of
other goods, income, and so on.
Industry Demand Versus Firm Demand


Industry demand is subject to general
economic conditions.
Firm demand is determined by economic
conditions and competition.
Demand Curve



Demand Curve Determination
The price-quantity demanded relation.
All non-price variables are held constant.
Relation Between the Demand
Curve and Demand Function


Move along demand curve when price
changes.
Shift to another demand curve when nonprice variables change.
Basis For Supply

How Output Prices Affect Supply

Firms offer supply to make profits.
 Higher
prices boost the quantity supplied.
 Lower prices cut the quantity supplied.

Other Factors That Influence Supply

Everything that affects marginal
production costs affects supply.
 If
MC falls, supply rises.
 If MC rises, supply falls.
Market Supply Function

Determinants of Supply


Supply is determined by price, prices of
other goods, technology, and so on.
Industry Supply Versus Firm Supply
Firm supply is determined by economic
conditions and competition.
 Industry supply is the horizontal sum of
firm supply.

Supply Curve
Supply Curve Determination
 The price-quantity supplied relation.
 All non-price variables are held
constant.

Relation Between Supply Curve
and Supply Function
Move along supply curve when price
changes.
 Shift to another curve when non-price
variables change.

Market Equilibrium

Surplus and Shortage
Surplus is excess supply.
 Shortage is excess demand.

Comparative Statics: Changing
Demand
Equilibrium changes with demand shifts.
 Comparative Statics: Changing Supply

 Equilibrium

changes with supply shifts.
