1-117 of 117What is the formula for producer surplus?
Give this one a go later!
PS = P - WTS
What does Eab measure and what is its formula?
,Give this one a go later!
Measures the response of Qd of good A to a change in price of good B.
Eab = change in Qd of good A / change in P of good B
What does microeconomics focus on?
Give this one a go later!
Focuses on specific markets/industries
How do we use the Coase Theorem?
Give this one a go later!
Take a look at who has the property rights (PR) and make the costs and
benefits make sense.
What happens when both S and D shift?
Give this one a go later!
, The equilibrium of P and Q will depend on the magnitude. If we don't know
the magnitude of the change, then we consider 3 scenarios. 1) is where Q
and S shift at the same amount, 2) is when demand shifts more, 3) is when
supply shifts more. From drawing these we'll see that one of the variable
stays the same regardless, but one will change (we call that variable
ambiguous)
When is En income inelastic?
Give this one a go later!
-1 < En < 1 - this means the good is a necessity
Consider Qd = 10 + 0.0004N - 2A - 2P, (A is price of related good), what do the signs
of A tell us?
Give this one a go later!
The sign of A tells us if the goods are substitutes or complements. If
postitive, the goods are substitutes. If negative, the goods are
complements.
What is the law of supply?
Give this one a go later!
, P and Qs are positively related, if P goes up so does Qs as firms want to
supply more / sell more at this raised price.
What is the law of demand?
Give this one a go later!
P and Qd are negatively related, if Price goes up then Qd goes down and
vice versa
What is WTS?
Give this one a go later!
The lowest price a seller will take to produce a good
Is elasticity constant along the demand curve?
Give this one a go later!
No! A change from $1 -> $2 is 100% increase but from $9 -> $10 is a lot less
What does autarky mean?
Give this one a go later!
