I. INTRODUCTION TO MARKETS
![Page 8: LECTURE 4 SUPPLY AND DEMAND FRAMEWORK · Economics 2 Professor Christina Romer . Spring 2016 Professor David Romer . LECTURE 4 . SUPPLY AND DEMAND FRAMEWORK](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022510/5adc45247f8b9ae1408b4f34/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Two Building Blocks
• Scarcity: A situation in which a person, firm, or country faces a constraint.
• Gains from Specialization: A group of people can produce and consume more if they specialize and trade than if each is self-sufficient.
![Page 9: LECTURE 4 SUPPLY AND DEMAND FRAMEWORK · Economics 2 Professor Christina Romer . Spring 2016 Professor David Romer . LECTURE 4 . SUPPLY AND DEMAND FRAMEWORK](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022510/5adc45247f8b9ae1408b4f34/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Market
• An arrangement by which economic exchanges between people take place.

Implications for How Markets Deal with Scarcity and the Gains from Specialization
• The existence of markets allows people to trade, so they can specialize along the lines of comparative advantage.
• Markets deal with scarcity by balancing the optimizing behavior of consumers and producers. Prices adjust to equilibrate the two sides of the market.
• The consumers who actually get the good are those who are willing and able to pay the equilibrium price.
• The firms that actually produce the good are those that find it profit-maximizing to produce at the equilibrium price.

Ceteris Paribus
• “other things being equal”
• All variables other than those being studied are assumed to be constant.

Movements Along vs. Shifts
• A change in the quantity supplied or quantity demanded because the price changed: Movement along the curve.
• A change in the quantity supplied or quantity demanded at the same price: Shift of the curve.

Price Control
• Government sets the price of a good; it is not allowed to go to its equilibrium level.
• Price Ceiling: Maximum price; price is held below its equilibrium level.
• Price Floor: Minimum price; price is held above its equilibrium level.

Effects of a Price Ceiling
• Will lead to a shortage.
• Good will have to be allocated in some way other than by price.
• Discourages the decrease in quantity demanded and increase in quantity supplied that automatically occur as the price rises.
