what happens to the quantity demanded as the price changes, holding all other factors constant?
Law of demand
• demand curves slope down • a drop in price results in an increase in
• this shift of the demand curve is a trick to avoid drawing 3D diagrams
Effect on pork demand of a rise in price of beef
• beef is a substitute for pork • at a given price of pork, a rise in the price of
To use supply and demand model
• you need to determine
• buyers' behavior • sellers' behavior • how they interact
• know whether the model is: applicable to the market under examination
Demand Curve for Canadian Pork
Effect of price changes
• movement along the demand curve • demand curve is a concise summary of the
answer to the question:
quantity demanded (holding other factors constant) • one of the most important empirical finding in economics
Demand effects of other factors
• change in any factor other than the price of the good causes a shift of the demand curve (not a movement along the demand curve)
• change in any other factor besides the price causes a shift of the demand curve
Variable definitions
• Q = quantity of pork demanded (million kg per year)
Demand curve
• shows quantity demanded—largest quantity that consumers are willing to buy—at each price, holding constant other factors that affect purchases
• general function Q = DFra Baidu bibliotekP, Pb, Pc, I)
• specific (linear) pork demand function Q = 171 – 20P + 20Pb + 3Pc + 2I
Summing demand curves
• total demand is sum of demand for all consumers • suppose there are 2 consumers with demand
Key issues
• demand • supply • market equilibrium • shocking the equilibrium • effects of government interventions • when to use supply and demand model
Supply and demand model
• most widely-used economic model • testable (like all good theories) • describes how consumers and suppliers
interact in a market to determine quantity of a good sold and its price
curves: Q1 = D1(P) Q2 = D2(P) • total quantity demanded = horizontal sum of quantity each consumer demands at each given price: Q = Q1 + Q2 = D1(P) + D2(P)
beef causes some people to switch from beef to pork
A Shift of the Pork Demand Curve
Summary
• change in the price of a good causes a movement along a demand curve
• note: quantity demanded of a good or service can exceed quantity sold (or vice versa)
• strange demand curve convention: price is on the vertical axis
• P = price of pork ($ per kg) • Pb = price of beef ($ per kg) • Pc = price of poultry ($ per kg) • I = income of consumers (thousand $)
