A

Demand Function

32
Q

Demand Function

A

Qd=f(P,Prg,Y)
Qxt=f(Pxt,Yt,Prt,P^e(x,t+i),T)
Qdx = a - bPx

33
Q

The variables in the right are being held blank as the demand curve is plotted

34
Q

A

negative

positive

35
Q

The coefficient of income is positive indicate that it is blank. If the coefficient is negative, the good is blank.

A

normal good

inferior good

36
Q

Blank is driven by demand.

A

Economic growth

37
Q

Governments and central banks stimulate demand in order to bring blank to an end.

A

recessions

38
Q

However, economics simplifies the equation to emphasize the blank of individual demand and the sixth factor of blank.

A

five key drivers

aggregate demand

39
Q

the number of goods or services that suppliers are willing to produce at a given market price.

A

quantity supplied

40
Q

The claim that, other things being equal, the quantity supplied of a good rises when the price of the good rises.

A

Law of Supply

41
Q

a table that shows the relationship between the price of a good and the quantity supplied

A

Supply Schedule

42
Q

A graph of the relationship between the price of a good and the quantity supplied

A

Supply Curve

43
Q

The sum of the supplies of all sellers.

A

Market Supply

44
Q

Determinants of supply that shifts the supply curve

A

Input Prices, Technology, Expectations, Number of Sellers, Government Regulations (Tax, subsidies, and policies)

45
Q

How do Input Prices affect supply?

A

Increases in the price of the raw materials in order to produce outputs affect the ability of a firm to produce.

46
Q

How does Technology affect supply?

A

Technological advancements could reduce firms’ costs and could produce more outputs.

47
Q

How do Expectations affect supply?

A

Increase in future price could make producers manufacture less in the current period and produce more at a future period.

48
Q

How does Number of Sellers affect supply?

A

An increase in the number of sellers means that the supply will increase in the market and if the number of sellers decreases it will prove otherwise.

49
Q

How do Government regulations (Tax, subsidies, and policies) affect supply?

A

Taxes and regulations hinder firms to produce more outputs and subsidies encourages firms to produce more.

50
Q

a situation in which the market price has reached the level at which quantity supplied equals quantity demanded

A

Market equilibrium

Q

Supply Function

A 
Qsx = f(P_x,T,C,Exp,Grt,Gs,M)
