Document Summary

Mgea01 chapter 3 supply & demand: a model of a competitive market. Competitive market: a market in which there are many buyers and sellers of the same good or service, none of whom can influence the price at which the good or service is sold. Supply and demand model: is a model of how a competitive market behaves/works. Demand schedule: shows how much of a good or service consumers will want to buy at different prices. Quantity demanded: the actual amount of a good or service consumers are willing and able to buy at some specific price. Demand curve: the graphical representation of the demand schedule. It shows how much of a good or service consumers want to buy at any given price. Law of demand: a higher price for a good or service, other things equal, leads people to demand a smaller quantity of that good or service.

What good or service do you buy on a regular basis? What factors are relevant to the demand and supply of the identified good or service? How do you imagine supply and demand, and therefore equilibrium price, might shift for that good or service 30 years in the future? Explain your answer, citing types of factors that would cause the supply and demand curve for the good or service to shift. Your response should be at least one paragraph long.
