The Price Mechanism] Microeconomics Year 11 Bridging Work for Non-GCSE Students Summer Term 2020 [THE PRICE MECHANISM] Activity: Creating A Demand Curve • The want or willingness of consumers to buy goods and services but consumers must have enough money to buy goods and services they demand • Effective Demand- Desire for a good or service supported by the ability and willingness to pay You are thinking about starting a business during lockdown delivering home made cupcakes. You have done some market research by asking 5 members of the neighbourhood how many loaves of bread they would purchase at each price in a week. Calculate the total demand for your product (market demand) at each price level. (You need to add up all of the individual demand at each prive level) Individual Demand Price Lee Aneesh Sarah Samara Mindy Market Demand 5 +3+10+4+8 = 30 £0.50 5 3 10 4 8 £1 4 3 8 2 4 £1.50 3 2 6 1 2 £2 2 1 4 0 1 £2.50 1 0 2 0 0 Individual Demand Individual demand is the demand for a good or service by an individual consumer. Draw Sarah’s individual demand for your cupcakes here. You’ll need to put Quantity on the X axis and Price on the Y axis. You cannot do it another way in Economics. Market Demand Market demand is total demand for a product created by adding together all the individual demands Next, draw a demand curve for your product. This will need to include the total demand from ALL individuals added together. Your demand curve must have the following: • Title e.g. Market for Cupcakes • Labelled Axes • Prices written in • Quantities written in • Curve drawn showing the relationship between price and quantity Watch this video to see if your demand curve looks the way it is supposed to and to give a bit of an introduction to demand https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwLh6ax0zTE Changes in Price Any change in price leads to a movement ALONG the demand curve • Increases in price lead to a contraction of demand. Show this on the diagram below using the cupcakes data from previous pages and price £1 and £1.50. Remember to label the axis price and quantity and label the demand curve as D1. At £1 you will sell _________ cupcakes. At £1.50 there will be a contraction of demand along D1 as consumers demand less cupcakes at a higher price and will now only demand _______ cupcakes. • Decreases in price lead to an extension of demand. Show this on the diagram below using price of £1 to £0.50 Explain what has happened in this diagram (use the format from the example above) Movement Along the Demand Curve For most goods and services the quantity demanded will fall as the price rises. This shows an inverse relationship. This is called the law of demand and occurs for three reasons. Read this article and write a brief explanantion for each of the reasons below https://www.economicsonline.co.uk/Competitive_markets/Demand_curves.html 1. Substitution effect 2. Income effect 3. Law of diminishing marginal utility Here is what a diagram showing a fall in price should look like when there are no specific values we use P1, P2, Q1, Q2. The demand schedule for Yummy Bagels is as follows. Draw a properly labelled Demand Curve. The current price is $4. Price Quantity Demanded per week $1 3500 $2 3000 $3 2500 $4 2000 $5 1500 Your demand curve must have the following • Title • Labelled Axes • Prices written in • Quantities written in • Curve drawn showing the relationship between price and quantity Show on the diagam above what would happen to the demand for bagels if Yummy Bagels drop their prices by 50% Explain in words what will happen if Yummy Bagels increases the price. (HINT: You need to use the word “contraction” or “extension”) (HINT: You also need to use the word “inverse”) Shifts in the Demand Curve A shift of the demand curve is when the demand curve moves to the right or left. Anything that affects the demand for a product that is NOT the price (non-price factors) will shift the demand curve. Market for Pumpkins Price Quantity Demanded in September Quantity Demanded in October $0.50 550 $0.60 500 $0.70 450 $0.80 400 $0.90 350 1. Draw the demand curve for pumpkins in September. Label this curve D1 2. In October, it is Halloween and at every price level, there is an increase in demand for pumpkins by 1000 pumpkins. Fill in the table to show this and then draw new demand curve for pumpkins in October. Label this curve D2. 3. https://www.khanacademy.org/economics-finance-domain/ap-macroeconomics/basic-economics-concepts- macro/demand/v/change-in-demand-versus-change-in-quantity-demanded-microeconomics-khan-academy Watch this video and explain the difference between change in demand and change in quantity demanded. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND. Increases in Demand If there is an increase in demand, the curve will shift to the right. This is shown on the diagram. Don’t forget to put in your lables. When we don’t have a value for price and quantity we will label those as P1 and P2 and Q1 and Q2. This shows that at price p1 consumers will purchase more of this good. Decreases in Demand If there is a decrease in demand, the curve will shift to the left. Show this on a diagram Factors that Shift the Demand Curve Read the text and use it to summarise why each of the following factors will shift the demand curve. 1. Income- disposable income (income after tax has been deducted) 2. Taste and fashion 3. Marketing 4. Change in price of substitute goods 5. Change in price of complementary goods 6. Population size and demographic 7. Expectations of future price changes 8. Economic Situation Activity: Shifts in Demand for Skateboards Tony Eagle is a pro skater. He has started up his own skateboard shop, and would like you to do some analysis of factors than may affect demand for skateboards in Reading. Remember to show P1 to show the price and Q1 and Q2 to show the change in quantity demanded at the same price P1 once the curve has shifted. Don’t forget to label your axes Price and Quantity and label your demand curve D1 and D2. 1. Income- disposable income (income after tax has been deducted) Coronavirus had lead to on average a decrese in incomes The UK government lowers the rate of income tax of £550 per month. 2. Taste and fashion Skateboarding is added as an official Olympic sport and Kim Kardashian tweets about how she would never date receives a lot more television coverage. Everyone is a skater, because skateboarding is so last decade. loving it. 3. Marketing 4. Seasons Tony spends a lot of time on Reading High Steet The winter is viciously cold and it snows in Reading marketing his skateboards to young people. He also pays frequently. a bunch of Reading instagram influencers to post about his boards. 5. Substitute and complementary goods Substitute goods: alternative goods that could be used for the same purpose Complementary goods: products which are used together The price of longboards decreases The price of kneepads and skateboard helmets decrease 6. Population size and demographic If the number of people in a country increase or decrease this will change demand for goods and services simply by virtue of market size. What would happen to the demand for Tony Eagle’s Change in the age or demographic of the population is skateboards if high cost of living in London pushes more also important. If a larger % of the population is older people to move to Reading? there will be increased demand for products used by older persons. What would happen to the demand for skateboards as Britains population ages? 7. Expectations of future price changes If consumers expect prices to rise, they are likely to demand more of the product now. This may be because they hope to sell the product and make a profit off it in the future. E.g. buying art, houses, shares What would happen to demand for skateboards if people believed that exclusive Tony Eagle skateboards would be able to be sold for a profit in the future? If consumers expect price rises, they may purchase goods and services now to save money in the future when prices rise. In retailiation for Donald Trump’s steel tariffs, the UK has put an import tax on American timber, a crucial part of making skateboards. Tony Eagle has been very outspoken in the press about how this will increase the prices of his skateboards. 8. Economic Situation If the economy is in a poor state and there is significant unemployment, this may mean that consumers purchase less of certain products as people are worried about becoming unemployed and begin to save instead of spend. There are widespread reports that there will be another economic downturn in 2020 due to corona virus, and this will be far worse than the 2008 global financial crisis. Consequences of Demand Curve Shifts 1. A change in price will lead to shift in demand for substitute and complement goods. Falling demand for petrol due to less travel due to corona virus has meant that the price of petrol has fallen. Show the effect of falling petrol prices in 2020 on the market for cars. An increase in demand for Heinz baked beans has increased the price of Heinz baked beans.

Samuelson's Econol11ics: Making Economics Accessible to Students A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Economics at Massey University Palmerston North, New Zealand. Leanne Marie Smith July 2000 Abstract Paul A. Samuelson is the founder of the modem introductory economics textbook. His textbook Economics has become a classic, and the yardstick of introductory economics textbooks. What is said to distinguish economics from the other social sciences is the development of a textbook tradition. The textbook presents the fundamental paradigms of the discipline, these gradually evolve over time as puzzles emerge, and solutions are found or suggested. The textbook is central to the dissemination of the principles of a discipline. Economics has, and does contribute to the education of students, and advances economic literacy and understanding in society. It provided a common economic language for students. Systematic analysis and research into introductory textbooks is relatively recent. The contribution that textbooks play in portraying a discipline and its evolution has been undervalued and under-researched. Specifically, applying bibliographical and textual analysis to textbook writing in economics, examining a single introductory economics textbook and its successive editions through time is new. When it is considered that an economics textbook is more than a disseminator of information, but a physical object with specific content, presented in a particular way, it changes the way a researcher looks at that textbook.

  • The Price Mechanism and Resource Allocation
    The Price Mechanism and Resource Allocation AS Economics Presentation 2005 Markets • A market is the place where buyers and sellers meet to exchange a product. Markets require: – Consumers i.e. buyers – Producers or firms i.e. sellers – Goods or services to trade (a recognizable output) • Examples of markets include: – Housing market: home owners and potential buyers – Labour market: employers and workers – Stock market: share owners and potential buyers – Foreign exchange market: trading currencies Sub Markets – Market Segmentation • The market for most goods can be segmented – broken down into sub markets • The market for houses – (i) sub markets for terraced, semi-detached and detached homes – (ii) the market for rented properties and owner occupied housing • The market for cars is made up of sub markets for family saloon cars, hatchbacks and high performance sports cars • The travel industry is heavily segmented Functions of the Price Mechanism • The price mechanism is the means by which decisions of consumers and businesses interact to determine the allocation of resources between different goods and services • (1) The signaling function – If prices are rising because of stronger demand from consumers, this is a signal to suppliers to expand output to meet the higher demand – When demand is strong, higher market prices act as an incentive to raise output (production) because the supplier stands to make a higher profit • (2) The rationing function – Prices serve to ration scarce resources when demand in a market outstrips supply – When there is a shortage of a product in the market, the price will rise and thus deter some consumers from purchasing the product Adam Smith and the ‘Invisible Hand’ • The 18th Century economist Adam Smith – one of the founding fathers of modern economics, described how the invisible or hidden hand of the market operated in a competitive market through the pursuit of self-interest to allocate resources in society’s best interest • This remains the central view of all free-market economists, i.e.

  • Pricing Public Goods for Private Sale
    Proceedings Article Pricing Public Goods for Private Sale MICHAL FELDMAN, Hebrew University and Harvard University DAVID KEMPE, University of Southern California BRENDAN LUCIER, Microsoft Research RENATO PAES LEME, Microsoft Research We consider the pricing problem faced by a seller who assigns a price to a good that confers its benefits not only to its buyers, but also to other individuals around them. For example, a snow-blower is potentially useful not only to the household that buys it, but also to others on the same street. Given that the seller is constrained to selling such a (locally) public good via individual private sales, how should he set his prices given the distribution of values held by the agents? We study this problem as a two-stage game. In the first stage, the seller chooses and announces a price for the product. In the second stage, the agents (each having a private value for the good) decide simultaneously whether or not they will buy the product. In the resulting game, which can exhibit a multiplicity of equilibria, agents must strategize about whether they will themselves purchase the good to receive its benefits. In the case of a fully public good (where all agents benefit whenever any agent purchases), we describe a pricing mechanism that is approximately revenue-optimal (up to a constant factor) when values are drawn from a regular distribution. We then study settings in which the good is only “locally” public: agents are arranged in a network and share benefits only with their neighbors. We describe a pricing method that approximately maximizes revenue, in the worst case over equilibria of agent behavior, for any d-regular network.

  • Economic Calculation and the Limits of Organization
    Economic Calculation and the Limits of Organization Peter G. Klein conomists have become increasingly frustrated with the text- book model of the firm. The "firm" of intermediate microeco- Enomics is a production function, a mysterious "black box" whose insides are off-limits to respectable economic theory (relegated instead to the lesser disciplines of management, organization theory, industrial psychology, and the like). Though useful in certain contexts, the textbook model has proven unable to account for a variety of real- world business practices: vertical and lateral integration, geographic and product-line diversification, franchising, long-term commercial contract- ing, transfer pricing, research joint ventures, and many others. As an al- ternative to viewing the firm as a production function, economists are turning to a new body ofliterature that views the firm as anorganization, itself worthy of economic analysis. This emerging literature is the best- developed part of what has come to be called the "new institutional eco- nomics."' The new perspective has deeply enhanced and enriched our un- derstanding of firms and other organizations, such that we can no longer agree with Ronald Coase's 1988 statement that "[wlhy firms exist, what determines the number of firms, what determines what firms do . are not questions of interest to most economists" (Coase 1988a, p. 5).The new theory is not without its critics; Richard Nelson (1991), for example, ob- jects that the new institutional economics tends to downplay discretion- ary differences among firms. Still, the new institutional economics-in particular, agency theory and transaction cost economics-has been *Peter G. Klein is assistant professor of economics at the University of Georgia.

  • Market Failure in Context: Introduction Alain Marciano and Steven G
    Market Failure in Context: Introduction Alain Marciano and Steven G. Medema Market failure, conceived of as the failure of the market to bring about results that are in the best interests of society as a whole, has a long lin- eage in the history of writings on matters economic. As Steven G. Medema has shown in The Hesitant Hand, much of the history of economics can be read as a discussion of whether, and the extent to which, the self- interested actions of private agents, channeled through the market, will redound to the larger social interest. For much of this history, the answers given were negative, and it was assumed that the corrective hand of the state was needed as a constant and consistent regulating force. Thus we find Plato and Aristotle arguing for a wide range of legal restrictions to guard against macroeconomic (to use the modern term) instability; Aqui- nas making the case for rules that promote a measure of Christian justice in economic affairs; mercantilist writers lobbying for restrictions on vari- ous forms of trade (and support for others), as well as for regulations on Correspondence may be addressed to Alain Marciano, University of Montpellier, Department of Economics, Rue Raymond Dugrand, CS 79606, F-34960 Montpellier, France (e-mail: alain [email protected]); and to Steven G.

  • The Cost of Price: Why and How to Get Beyond Intellectual Property Internalism Amy Kapczynski
    The Cost of Price: Why and How to Get Beyond Intellectual Property Internalism Amy Kapczynski ABSTRACT The field of intellectual property (IP) law today is focused, as the name itself advertises, UCLA LAW REVIEW UCLA LAW on one particular institutional approach to scientific and cultural production: IP. When legal scholars explain this focus, they typically do so with reference to the virtues of price. Because price gives us a decentralized way to link social welfare to the production of information, IP is alleged to be more efficient than other approaches. The dominant mode of IP scholarship begins here and then addresses questions internal to IP law— for example, how broad or narrow should exceptions to IP rights be? But the internalism that characterizes the field of IP cannot, as I show, be justified by the value of efficiency. Economics offers us no a priori reason to assume that IP is more efficient than other possible approaches, most prominently government procurement and commons-based production. If we take the invitation that economists offer us to think external to IP, we also gain new insights about the implications of values other than efficiency for the choice between different institutional approaches to scientific and cultural production. We see, as I argue, that using price to guide scientific and cultural production—which is to say, using IP—may have costs not only for efficiency, but also for distributive justice and informational privacy. The IP approach is in tension with the value of distributive justice because reliance upon price may yield not only unjust distribution of existing information resources but also unjust production of future information resources.

  • The Price Mechanism and the Invisible Hand 3
    Exclusive Hyun Kim Jung Hoon Hong Daiki Kim Meejoo Song Wooseung Sohn 1 I. INTRODUCTION In our presentation, there are four main subjects that we will be explaining today. Those subjects are: 1. Private goods and the Free Market System. 2.The Price Mechanism and the Invisible Hand 3. Public goods and the market failure 4. Public hand and the government failure. Before we go into the details, let me briefly give you the overview. First we have to approach these questions by asking ourselves… What do we mean by Exclusive? Of course, the word exclusive can be heard on a regular basis. For example, an exclusive interview with Professor Kim. Then what does the word exclusive mean? According to the dictionary, the word “exclusive” is defined as “not divided or shared with others” So how is this relevant to what we are studying? How is it connected to the rights? You might ask… There were discussions as to what “exclusiveness” meant. In my perspective, there are spiritual and material interests that are protected by the laws. Since, these interests are protected, as the characteristic of the rights, the interest become exclusive when it becomes a right. In having an exclusive right would mean that a person could enjoy the right at his or her wish. Therefore, we felt that there was a close link to the free market system and the right. Well, let’s go back to the last week’s lecture. If you can remember, Sun-young gave us a splendid presentation on the bourgeoisie last week.

  • Martin L. Weitzman: Prices Vs. Quantities
    Prices vs. Quantities12 MARTIN L. WEITZMAN Massachusetts Institute of Technology I. INTRODUCTION The setting for the problem under consideration is a large economic organization or system which in some cases is best thought of as the entire economy. Within this large economic organization resources are allocated by some combination of commands and prices (the exact mixture is inessential) or even by some other unspecified mechanism. The following question arises. For one particular isolated economic variable that needs to be regulated,3 what is the best way to implement control for the benefit of the organization as a whole? Is it better to directly administer the activity under scrutiny or to fix transfer prices and rely on self-interested profit or utility maximization to achieve the same ends in decentralized fashion? This issue is taken as the prototype problem of central control which is studied in the present paper. There are a great many specific examples which fit nicely into such a framework. One of current interest is the question of whether it would be better to control certain forms of pollution by setting emission standards or by charging the appropriate pollution taxes. When quantities are employed as planning instruments, the basic operating rules from the centre take the form of quotas, targets, or commands to produce a certain level of output. With prices as instruments, the rules specify either explicitly or implicitly that profits are to be maximized at the given parametric prices. Now a basic theme of resource allocation theory emphasizes the close connection between these two modes of control.
