Resource MarketsThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.D. Output MarketsXI.

Demand/ Determinants of Demand (Review but with some new things added)Demand- The quantities of an output or resource that people are willing (and able) to buy (during some period of time)Flow variable- variable measured over time periodDeterminants of Demand:Note: These are not ALL of the things that could influence demand but they are the mostIMPORTANT-Price of the output resource (how much it the resource costs is going to help you decidehow much to buy)-Buyer’s Incomes-Tastes (Psychological and/or cultural and biological and/or other reasons for buying) *This could be determined by season, holidays, anything that makes a certain product sell more (or less)-Buyer’s expectations (about future prices and/or future incomes *If you think prices willbe going up in the future you will be more likely to buy and vice versa)-Number of Buyers-Prices of Related outputs or related resources (Compliments- outputs or resources that are generally used together) (substitutes- outputs or resources that fill the same need)XIII. Demand Curves- We make a demand curve under ceteris paribus which means we keep all other determinants of demand constant and change the one we want to see the effect of.Note: If you change the demand the whole graph shifts, but if you change the quantity demanded that is not a shift of the graph, rather just a shift up or down on the existing demand curve.Also, the line that the demand curve follows is called a demand schedule.XIV.Law of Demand- As the price of the output or resources increases, the quantity decreases and vice versa.XV. Determinants of SupplySupply- The quantities of an output or resource people are willing and able to sell duringsome time period (supply is also a flow- a movement over time)F. Price of the output or resourceG. Prices of the resources used to produce the output (cost of production)H. Technology (knowledge about producing…like if they develop a new way to produce the same good for a lower cost)I. Number of SellersJ. Sellers expectation about future prices (Can influence their current selling
