Key Topics to Revise

1

Basic Concepts of Market Equilibrium

  • Market equilibrium occurs when quantity demanded equals quantity supplied
  • At equilibrium price (p*), there is no excess demand or excess supply
  • Market clearing condition: qD(p*) = qS(p*)
2

Market Equilibrium with Fixed Number of Firms

  • Equilibrium occurs at intersection of market demand and supply curves
  • Changes in equilibrium depend on shifts in demand or supply curves
  • Movement along curves vs. shifts of curves are different concepts
3

Labour Market Equilibrium

  • In labour markets, households supply labour and firms demand labour
  • Wage rate is determined at intersection of labour demand and supply
  • Firms hire labour up to point where wage equals marginal revenue product of labour (MRPL)
