Supply and demand curves
Demand
How much of a product consumers want to purchase depends on
many factors: price, income, tastes, availability and prices of
alternative products, etc.
Focus on key determinant: price
Demand for a good is falling in its
price
The demand curve shows the highest price a consumer of willing to pay for
a given unit
Price elasticity of demand = how strongly the demand reacts to a
price change (percent change in demand due to 1 percent change in
price)
Low elasticity > steep demand
curve High elasticity > flat
demand curve
Supply
The product price is key determinant of how much of a product firms
are willing to produce and sell: supply an extra unit as long as the
revenue from selling this unit (=price) exceeds the extra (=marginal)
cost of producing it
The supply curve shows the lowest price at which firms are willing to sell a
given unit (i.e. the marginal cost of producing this unit)
The supply of a good increases in its price
Price elasticity of supply = how strongly supply reacts to a price change
(percent change in sypply due to 1 percent change in price)
