Textbook: Chapter 4, 6, 7 and 8
Study Guide: Chapter 4, 6, 7 and * 2 @KieuMinh.MSc Markets
A group of buyers and sellers of a particular good or service Can be highly organized Can be less organized
Market: any institution, mechanism, or arrangement which facilitates exchange. Competitive market: a market in which there are many buyers and many sellers so that each has a negligible impact on the market price 3 @KieuMinh.MSc 3 Markets and Competition Perfect competition Monopolistic Obligopoly Monopoly Goods offered for Competition The only seller sale - exactly the in the market same Sets the price Buyers and sellers – numerous No single buyer or seller has any influence over the market price 4 2.1 DEMAND 5 Buyers determine demand... @KieuMinh.MSc Demand
Demand shows the willingness to pay (WTP) for a good
WTP = Willing to pay + Be able to pay Quantity demanded (QD) Amount of a good
Buyers are willing and able to purchase at exact Price
Law of Demand: Other things equal, when the price (P) of the
good rises, quantity demanded (QD) of a good falls
Relationship between Price of a good (P) and Quantity demanded (QD) can be shown: Demand schedule - a table: Demand curve - a graph: Downward sloping curve Demand function: QD= f (P) 6 @KieuMinh.MSc 6

Any change that increases the quantity demanded at every price Demand curve shifts right Decrease in demand
Any change that decreases the quantity demanded at every price Demand curve shifts left
Variables that can shift the demand curve Income Prices of related goods Tastes Expectations Number of buyers 10 @KieuMinh.MSc 10 Shifts in the demand curve P Increase in Demand Decrease in Demand Demand Demand Demand curve, D1 curve, D curve, D 2 3 0 Q 11 @KieuMinh.MSc 11 Changes in Demand 1. Income (I)
Normal good: other things constant, an increase in income makes increase in demand Necessary goods Luxury goods
Inferior good: Other things constant, an increase in income makes decrease in demand 12 @KieuMinh.MSc 12 Changes in demand
2. Prices of related goods (Py) Substitutes - two goods
An increase in the price of one leads to an increase in the demand for the other Complements – two goods
An increase in the price of one leads to a decrease in the demand for the other 13 @KieuMinh.MSc 13 Changes in demand 3. Tastes (T)
Change in tastes – changes the demand
4. Expectations - about the future (income, prices) (E) Affect current demand
5. Number of buyers – increase (N) Market demand - increases 14 @KieuMinh.MSc 14

Study Guide: Chapter 4 (True/False questions: 1 ~ 6) 2.2 SUPPLY Sellers determine supply... 17 @KieuMinh.MSc Supply
Supply shows the willingness to sell (WTS) of sellers for a
goods (willing and be able to sell)
Quantity supplied (Qs): Amount of a good that sellers are willing and able to sell
Law of supply: Other things equal, when the price
(P) of the good rises quantity supplied (Qs) of a good rises
Relationship between: P and QS can be shown as:
Supply schedule - a table: shows the quantity supplied at each price
Supply curve - a graph: Upward sloping curve
Supply function: QS = g (P) 18 @KieuMinh.MSc 18

Individual Supply and Market Supply
Individual supply: Supply of one seller
Market supply: Sum of the supplies of all sellers for a good or service Market supply curve
