show airlines (anyone can raise/lower price a little bit and affect market); sodas (dominated by Pepsi and Coke)  
🗑

🗑
demand analysis   show
🗑
demand schedule   show
🗑
demand curve   show
🗑
law of demand   show
🗑
show the actual amount consumers are willing to buy a good at some specific price  
🗑
show change in demand vs change in quantity demanded  
🗑
show actual movement of the curve to tell new relationship btw p&q  
🗑

🗑
show if income increases, quantity demanded will increase/decrease depending on whether the good is normal or inferior

🗑

🗑
show changes in the quantity supplied arising from a change in price  
🗑
show Δ input prices; Δ price of related goods/services; Δ technology; Δ # of producers; Δ expectations (not talked about in class)  
🗑
things that cause a change in quantity supplied   show
🗑
changes in input prices   show
🗑
input   show
🗑
show very similar to that of the demand curve; involves substitutes in production and complements in production  
🗑
show must choose between 1 option or the other (ex: Honda can either make a Civic or an Accord); if $ of substitute good goes up, make more of it at expensive of other good; $ of A rises = ↑production A, ↓production B  
🗑
show making one facilitates the making of the other (ex: lumber and sawdust); price of lumber ↑, make more lumber, produce more sawdust as a result (even if price of sawdust didn't change)  
🗑
changes in technology   show
🗑
show changes in the expected future price of the good can lead a supplier to supply less or more of the good today  
🗑
show as you keep adding suppliers, you will continue to push the quantity supplied out further on the graph  
🗑
individual supply curves   show
🗑
show combined total quantity supplied by all individual producers in the market depends on the market price of that good; horizontal sum of all individual supply curves of all producers  
🗑
show it's an advance in technology; makes it cheaper to produce, so at any given price, sellers are willing to sell more  
🗑
show oil and natural gas are compliments in production; supply curve shifts outward (right)  
🗑
EX: drop in sugar price and supply of chocolate   show
🗑
EX: new restaurant opens and supply of friend appetizers?   show
🗑
show "invisible hand" desire to do as well as possible surplus wise; indiv who do as well as possible pushes toward equilibrium; every buyer that wants to by = sellers that want to sell; no deals that could make either better off w/out making other worse off  
🗑
show no seller can improve by selling at a cheaper price; no buyer who would've been willing to buy something w/out a high price; quantity of goods demanded = quantity of goods supplied  
🗑
show everyone who wants to sell has sold and everyone who wants to buy has bought; everyone else, at this price, you're not playing (people who haven't made deals/can't afford to make deals); Qd=Qs  
🗑
equilibrium quantity   show
🗑
market price   show
🗑
show at beginning buyers don't know better; as you continue, you know it's too high and can buy for cheaper else where  
🗑
buyers asks for abnormally low price?   show
🗑
surplus   show
🗑
shortage   show
🗑
show surplus (Qd < Qs) = price drop shortage (Qd > Qs) = price increase  
🗑
show all else held constant, if demand shifts out (right) = ↑demand, ↑price, ↑quantity; if demand shifts in (left) = ↓demand, ↓price, ↓quantity  
🗑
show all else held constant, if supply shifts out (right) = ↑supply, ↓price, ↑quantity; if supply shifts in (left) = ↓supply, ↑price, ↓quantity  
🗑
show demand curve shift = quantity/price in same direction supply curve shift = quantity/price in different directions  
🗑
show ↑D and ↓S ↑$, Q ambiguous ↑D and ↑S $ ambiguous, ↑Q ↓D and ↑S ↓$, Q ambiguous ↓D and ↓S $ ambiguous, ↓Q ambiguous? depends on which curve's magnitude of change was larger  
🗑
to recap...   show
🗑
