  • A quick and comprehensive intro to Supply and Demand. We define the demand curve, supply curve and equilibrium price & quantity. We draw a demand and supply curve graph - and figure out why they look like they do. We find equilibrium quantity and equilibrium price. This video targets a student in an introduction to microeconomics class.

    I'm currently taking Principles of Microeconomics. I just watched this video to help prepare me for my first exam. This was extremely useful. I was able to take great notes and finally understand what an equilibrium price actually is. Thanks.

    Thanks for doing this. My econ prof is a brilliant guy with a not-so-brilliant grasp on the english language, and I kept finding myself getting lost in his lectures. This helped a lot.

    @economicurtis  11 років тому +2

    It sounds like you want a time series. You'd show that in a time series by prices on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
    So, say, prices are high for a period of time. Then some event happens that leads supply shifts out, prices are lower.
    It's a good idea, I should make something to answer that!

  • @economicurtis
    @economicurtis  11 років тому +1

    In this simple model of supply and demand, you'd get a surplus.
    If price is kept artificially high (above the equilibrium I talk about in the video), then suppliers are willing to produce more than consumers are willing to buy. Hence, we have a surplus of this good.
    Normally, suppliers who are more efficient at producing the good would bring down the price. Down to the point where quantity demanded equaled quantity supplied.
    But not so with a price floor above the equilibrium.
