  1. Roger LeRoy Miller Economics Today Chapter 4 Extensions of Demandand Supply Analysis

  2. Young athletes and computer science students are leaving college before graduation to take very high-paying jobs. Are they grabbing near-term gains at the expense of lower future earnings? Introduction

  3. Learning Objectives • Discuss the essential features of the price system • Evaluate the effects on the market price and equilibrium quantity of changes in demand and supply • Understand the rationing function of prices

  4. Learning Objectives • Explain the effects of price ceilings • Explain the effects of price floors • Describe various types of government-imposed quantity restrictions on markets

  5. Chapter Outline • The Price System • Exchange and Markets • Changes in Demand and Supply • Price Flexibility and Adjustment Speed • The Rationing Function of Prices

  6. Chapter Outline • The Policy of Government-Imposed Price Controls • The Policy of Controlling Rents • Price Floors in Agriculture • Price Floors in the Labor Market • Quantity Restrictions

  7. Did You Know That... • According to the U.S. Customs Service, the second most serious smuggling problem along the Mexican border involves the refrigerant freon? • When an older U.S. air conditioner needs fixing, it is often cheaper to pay a relatively high price for illegally smuggled freon than to modify the unit?

  8. The Price System • Price System (market system) • An economic system that allocates resources based on relative prices determined by supply and demand • Prices signal what is relatively scarce and relatively abundant

  9. Exchange and Markets • Markets • Emphasize voluntary exchange • Determine the terms of exchange • Facilitate exchange

  10. Exchange and Markets • Voluntary Exchange • Acts of trading between individuals that make both parties to the trade subjectively better off • Terms of Exchange • The prices we pay for the desired items

  11. Exchange and Markets • Transaction Cost • The costs associated with exchange • Examples • Price shopping • Determining quality • Determining reliability • Service availability • Cost of contracting

  12. Exchange and Markets • The role of middlemen • Middlemen (intermediaries) or brokers reduce transaction cost by providing information to buyers and sellers. • Examples • Real estate brokers • Stock brokers • Consignment shops • Car dealerships

  13. Exchange and Markets • Observation • Middle men flourish on the Internet • Question • Since anyone connected to the Internet can find the same information as an Internet middleman, or a shopbot, why would someone pay for the services of an Internet middleman?

  14. Changes in Demand and Supply • Changes in supply and demand create a disequilibrium • The market price and quantity adjusts to a new equilibrium

  15. The Upside of the Yo-Yo Cycle • Observations • Yo-yo’s are very popular again. • Yo-yo manufacturers cannot keep up with the demand at current prices. • There is a shortage of yo-yo’s. • Question • What is likely to happen to yo-yo prices?

  16. Responses to a Shift in Yo-Yo Demand Figure 4-2

  17. S E1 P1 D1 Q1 Shifts in Demand and Supply: Determinate Results Increase Demand with Supply Constant

  18. At price P1 quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied— a shortage exists D2 Q3 Shifts in Demand and Supply: Determinate Results Increase Demand with Supply Constant S E1 P1 D1 Q1

  19. E2 P2 Q2 Shifts in Demand and Supply: Determinate Results Increase Demand with Supply Constant S Equilibrium price and quantity increase to P2and Q2 E1 P1 D1 D2 Q1

  20. S E1 At price P1 quantity supplied exceeds quantity demanded— a surplus exists. P1 D1 D2 Q2 Q1 Shifts in Demand and Supply: Determinate Results Decrease Demand with Supply Constant

  21. E3 P3 Q3 Shifts in Demand and Supply: Determinate Results Decrease Demand with Supply Constant S E1 Equilibrium price and quantity decrease to P3and Q3 P1 D1 D2 Q1

  22. S1 E1 P1 D Q1 Shifts in Demand and Supply: Determinate Results Increase Supply with Demand Constant

  23. At price P1 quantity supplied exceeds quantity demanded— a surplus exists Shifts in Demand and Supply: Determinate Results Increase Supply with Demand Constant S1 S2 E1 P1 D Q1 Q3

  24. E2 P2 Q2 Shifts in Demand and Supply: Determinate Results Increase Supply with Demand Constant Equilibrium price decreases and quantity increases to P2and Q2 S1 S2 E1 P1 D Q1

  25. S3 At price P1 quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied— a shortage exists S1 E1 P1 D Q1 Q2 Shifts in Demand and Supply: Determinate Results Decrease Supply with Demand Constant

  26. E3 P3 Q3 Shifts in Demand and Supply: Determinate Results Decrease Supply with Demand Constant S3 Equilibrium price decreases and quantity increases to P3and Q3 S1 E1 P1 D Q1

  27. Changes in Demand and Supply • Summary • Increases in demand increase equilibrium price and quantity. • Decreases in demand decrease equilibrium price and quantity.

  28. Changes in Demand and Supply • Summary • Increases in supply decrease equilibrium price and increase equilibrium quantity. • Decreases in supply increase equilibrium price and decrease equilibrium quantity.

  29. Changes in Demand and Supply • When both demand and supply shift • Simultaneous changes in demand and supply put conflicting pressure on price or quantity • The resulting effect depends upon how much each shift • Either equilibrium price or quantity will be indeterminate
