Q

What factors affect PES?

A

Time scale, spare capacity, level of stocks, substitutability of factors, barriers of entry

17
Q

What is market equilibrium?

A

The point at which demand meets supply - there is no excess demand or supply. Market equilibrium price is the price at this point

18
Q

What is derived demand?

A

Demand for one good is related to demand for another good

19
Q

What is composite demand?

A

When a demanded good has multiple uses

20
Q

What is joint supply and competing supply?

A

When supply of one good is affected by supply of another good. This is joint if an increase in supply of one good increases supply of the other good, and competing if an increase in supply of one good decreases supply of the other good
