Definition of Economics
Economics is the study of how societies choose to use scarce productive resources that have alternative uses, to produce commodities of various kinds, and to distribute them among different groups.
![Page 9: Principles of Economics Session 1. Topics To Be Covered Introduction Definition of Economics Market Definition Demand Schedule, Curve, and Functions](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649db55503460f94aa6b67/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Scarcity vs. Efficiency
Economic goods are scarce or limited in supply.Free goods like air exist in such large
quantities. Thus, their market price is zero. Scarcity means that an economic good is not
freely available for the taking. Efficiency refers to the use of economic
resources to maximize satisfaction with the given inputs and technology.
![Page 10: Principles of Economics Session 1. Topics To Be Covered Introduction Definition of Economics Market Definition Demand Schedule, Curve, and Functions](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649db55503460f94aa6b67/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Microeconomics vs. Macroeconomics
Microeconomics is the study of how individual households and firms make decisions and how they interact with one another in markets.
Macroeconomics is the study of the economy as a whole with respect to output, price level, employment, and other aggregate economic variables.
![Page 11: Principles of Economics Session 1. Topics To Be Covered Introduction Definition of Economics Market Definition Demand Schedule, Curve, and Functions](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649db55503460f94aa6b67/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Adam Smith & John Maynard Keynes
Smith authored The Wealth of Nations in 1776.Founder of modern economics.Research into pricing of land, labor, and
capital.Invisible hand.
Keynes authored General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money in 1936.
![Page 12: Principles of Economics Session 1. Topics To Be Covered Introduction Definition of Economics Market Definition Demand Schedule, Curve, and Functions](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649db55503460f94aa6b67/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What, How, and For Whom
What is the problem of decision to produce possible goods or services.
How is the choice of the particular technique by which each good of the what shall be produced.
For whom refers to the distribution of consumption goods among the members of that society.
![Page 13: Principles of Economics Session 1. Topics To Be Covered Introduction Definition of Economics Market Definition Demand Schedule, Curve, and Functions](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649db55503460f94aa6b67/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Normative vs. Positive Economics
Normative economics considers “what ought to be”—value judgments, or goals, of public policy.
Positive economics, by contrast, is the analysis of facts and behavior in an economy, or “the way things are.”
![Page 14: Principles of Economics Session 1. Topics To Be Covered Introduction Definition of Economics Market Definition Demand Schedule, Curve, and Functions](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649db55503460f94aa6b67/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Market Definition
A market is an arrangement whereby buyers and sellers interact to determine the prices and quantities of a commodity.
![Page 15: Principles of Economics Session 1. Topics To Be Covered Introduction Definition of Economics Market Definition Demand Schedule, Curve, and Functions](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649db55503460f94aa6b67/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Demand
Quantity demanded is the amount
of a good that buyers are willing and able
to purchase.
![Page 17: Principles of Economics Session 1. Topics To Be Covered Introduction Definition of Economics Market Definition Demand Schedule, Curve, and Functions](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649db55503460f94aa6b67/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Law of Diminishing Demand
The law of demand states that there is an inverse
relationship between price and quantity demanded.

Ceteris Paribus
Ceteris paribus is a Latin phrase that means all variables other than the
ones being studied are assumed to be constant. Literally, ceteris paribus means “other things being equal.”
The demand curve slopes downward because, ceteris paribus, lower prices
imply a greater quantity demanded!
![Page 23: Principles of Economics Session 1. Topics To Be Covered Introduction Definition of Economics Market Definition Demand Schedule, Curve, and Functions](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649db55503460f94aa6b67/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Market Demand
Market demand refers to the sum of all individual demands for a particular good or service.
Graphically, individual demand curves are summed horizontally to obtain the market demand curve.
![Page 24: Principles of Economics Session 1. Topics To Be Covered Introduction Definition of Economics Market Definition Demand Schedule, Curve, and Functions](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649db55503460f94aa6b67/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Change in Quantity Demanded versus Change in Demand
Change in Quantity Demanded Movement along the demand curve. Caused by a change in the price of
the product.

Consumer Income
As income increases the demand for a normal good will increase.
As income increases the demand for an inferior good will decrease.

Prices of Related Goods
When a fall in the price of one good reduces the demand for another good, the two goods are called substitutes.
When a fall in the price of one good increases the demand for another good, the two goods are called complements.

Supply and Demand Together
Equilibrium Price The price that balances supply and
demand. On a graph, it is the price at which the supply and demand curves intersect.
Equilibrium Quantity The quantity that balances supply and
demand. On a graph it is the quantity at which the supply and demand curves intersect.

Three Steps To Analyzing Changes in Equilibrium
Decide whether the event shifts the supply or demand curve (or both).
Decide whether the curve(s) shift(s) to the left or to the right.
Examine how the shift affects equilibrium price and quantity.

Shifts in Curves versus Movements along Curves
A shift in the supply curve is called a change in supply.
A movement along a fixed supply curve is called a change in quantity supplied.
A shift in the demand curve is called a change in demand.
A movement along a fixed demand curve is called a change in quantity demanded.

When the price is above the equilibrium price, the quantity supplied exceeds the quantity demanded. There is excess supply or a surplus. Suppliers will lower the price to increase sales, thereby moving toward equilibrium.

Shortage

rents that landlords may charge their tenants.
The goal of rent control policy is to help the poor by making housing more affordable.
One economist called rent control “the best way to destroy a city, other than bombing.”

any employer may pay.
