Markets
• A market refers to the buyers and sellers who trade a
particular good or service.
– Markets can be located locally, globally, or even virtually.
• One special class of markets is the competitive market.
• Four characteristics of perfectly competitive markets.
• In this chapter, markets are assumed to be perfectly
competitive.

Demand
• As a group, consumers determine the demand
for a product.
• The quantity demanded is the amount of a
particular good or service that buyers are
willing and able to purchase at a given price.
• The law of demand states that the lower the
price, the higher the quantity demanded, all
other things equal.

• What happens when one of the non‐price
determinants changes?
– If positive influence, demand increases.
– If negative influence, demand decreases.

Shifts versus movements
There is an important difference between a shift in the demand
curve and a movement along the demand curve.
If the price decreases, then quantity
demanded increases and there is a
movement along the demand curve.
If a non‐price determinant changes,
then the demand curve shifts with
changes in the quantity demanded
at every price.

Supply
• As a group, producers determine the supply of
a product.
• The quantity supplied is the amount of a
particular good that producers are willing and
able to purchase at a given price.
• The law of supply states that the higher the
price, the higher the quantity supplied, all
other things equal.

in the market for cellphones when each of the
following determinants change.

the supply curve
intersects the demand
curve.
– At this point, consumers
are willing to buy exactly
what producers are
willing to sell.
• The equilibrium price is

Disequilibrium
• What happens when the market is not in
equilibrium?
• If the market price is not equal to the equilibrium
price, then quantity demanded is not equal to
quantity supplied.
– If the price is too high, excess supply occurs and there
is a surplus of the good or service.
• A lower price alleviates the surplus.
– If the price is too low, excess demand occurs and there
is a shortage of the good or service.
• A higher price alleviates the shortage.
© 2014 by McGraw‐Hill Education 23
A surplus
• A surplus provides incentives for
the price to decrease.
• As the price decreases
1) The quantity supplied
decreases.
2) The quantity
demanded increases.
• The price continues to decrease
until QS = QD = Q*.

Changes in market equilibrium
• The equilibrium price and quantity are determined by the
intersection of the demand and supply curves.
• If a non‐price factor changes, this affects the market
equilibrium.
• To determine the effect on market equilibrium, there are
three questions that must be answered:
– Does the change affect demand? If so, how?
– Does the change affect supply? If so, how?
– What happens to equilibrium price and quantity?

Shifts in both demand and supply
• It is possible for non‐price factors that influence both
demand and supply at the same time.
• This leads to shifts in both demand and supply.
• The new equilibrium occurs at the new intersection.
• Suppose that landline phone service prices increase
and an input price to make cellphones decreases.
– Demand increases.
– Supply increases.
• What happens to equilibrium price and quantity?
– It depends on whether the demand or supply curve shifts
out more.

Summary
• A market is the group of buyers and sellers
who trade.
– A competitive market exists if a large number of
buyers and sellers trade standardized goods and
services.
–Modeled using supply and demand.
13
© 2014 by McGraw‐Hill Education 37
Summary
• Demand demonstrates consumers’ highest
willingness to pay for a given quantity.
• The law of demand states that the quantity
demanded increases as the price decreases.
– The demand curve has a negative slope.
• When one of the non‐price determinants of
demand changes, the entire demand curve
shifts to the left or the right.
© 2014 by McGraw‐Hill Education 38
Summary
• Supply demonstrates producers’ lowest price
that they must receive to sell a given quantity.
• The law of supply states that the quantity
supplied increases as the price increases.
– The supply curve has a positive slope.
• When one of the non‐price determinants of
supply changes, the entire supply curve shifts
to the left or the right.
© 2014 by McGraw‐Hill Education 39
Summary
• The equilibrium price and quantity are identified
when quantity supplied equals quantity
demanded. At this point:
– Producers sell all they desire at the equilibrium price.
– Consumers buy all they desire at the equilibrium price.
• If the market price is not equal to the equilibrium
price, then a surplus or shortage exists, and the
price adjusts until quantity demanded is equal to
quantity supplied.
14
© 2014 by McGraw‐Hill Education 40
Summary
• When a non‐price determinant changes, the
effect on equilibrium price and quantity can be
evaluated by:
– Determining whether supply, demand, or both are
affected.
– Determining the direction supply, demand, or both
shift(s).
– Comparing the new equilibrium to the initial
equilibrium to identify the effect on price and
quantity.
