2、Chs. 3, 4 (Skim chapter 2 to maintain continuity only) or Sloman and Wride Chs. 2, 31) Competitive Market: Demand and SupplyWhen asked, “What is the most important thing you know about economics?” many people reply, “S

3、upply equals Demand”. This statement is a shorthand description of one of the simplest yet most powerful models of economics.The supply and demand model describes how consumers (buyers) and suppliers (sellers) interact i

4、n a market to determine the quantity sold of a good or service and the price at which it is sold.We are going to consider the demand and supply in a particular market: a perfectly competitive market.Definition: a market

5、consists of the buyers and sellers of a good or service.A perfectly competitive market is a market where the following assumptions are satisfied:a) Everyone is a price taker: this is a very important assumption. No consu

6、mer or firm is a very large part of the market, so no one can affect the market price. Think for example to a market in which there are many consumers and many firms. Since there are many consumers, each consumer can be

15、 consider the factors from a) to e) AS GIVEN. Therefore, a demand function tells us the amount of a good or service that consumers are willing to buy at a given price HOLDING CONSTANT the other factors that can influence
