Prices and Decision-Making

Role of Prices Market economy- prices perform allocation function (FOR WHOM?) Advantages of prices –Neutral –Flexible –Free –Familiar

Alternatives to Pricing Rationing: Government decides “fair share” and allocates goods and services Examples? Advantages? Disadvantages?

Economic Models and Equilibrium Together, demand and supply make a complete picture of the market. The point at which the supply and demand curves cross is known as the EQUILIBRIUM PRICE, where quantity supplied and demanded are equal.

Surpluses occur when supply exceeds demand (The price is too high). Shortages occur when demand exceeds supply (The price is too low).

The equilibrium price is the price at which supply meets demand.
