Document Summary

Econ 101 lecture 3 demand and supply: demand, definition i. ii. Quantity demanded (qd) is the quantity of good/services that a household wants to purchase given the price, ceteris paribus (everything else constant) Flow variable: over time vs stock variable: point in time: slope i. ii. Inverse or negative relationship between the price and the qd such that as p decreases, the willingness to buy increases, ceteris paribus. Note* d= demand = the function whereas qd = quantity demanded = a specific value on the horizontal axis: shifts i. ii. Ceteris paribus variables causes the shifts: the variable that is held constant to determine the relation between p and qd. Prognosis on the future of above depends iii. Complements: used jointly (e. g. milk and cereal) where if the price of milk increases then the quantity of milk demanded decreases and thus the quantity of cereal demanded also decreases iv. v.
