  1. CDAE 254 - Class 28 Dec 7 Last class: 9. Applying the competitive models Quiz 8 (Chapters 7 and 8) Quiz 9 (optional and take home, due 12:00noon, Friday, Dec. 8 ) Today: 9. Applying the competitive models Review for the final exam Reading: Chapter 9 Important dates: Final exam: 12:00-3:00pm, Tuesday, Dec. 12, Lafayette L403 3:30 – 6:30pm, Friday, Dec. 15, our classroom

  2. 9. Applying the competitive model 9.1. Consumer and producer surplus 9.2. Impact of price interventions 9.3. Tax incidence analysis 9.4. Trade restrictions 9.5. Applications

  3. 9.1. Consumer and producer surplus (1) Consumer surplus (review) (2) Producer surplus

  4. 9.1. Consumer and producer surplus (3) Economic efficiency (Fig. 9.1.) The sum of producer surplus and consumer surplus is at the maximum when the market is at equilibrium. (4) How to estimate consumer & producer surplus? e.g., QD = 10 - P and QS = 0.5 P - 2 At the equilibrium: Q* = 2 and P* = 8 Consumer surplus = 0.5 x 2 x 2 = 2 Producer surplus = 0.5 x 4 x 2 = 4 What will be the change in CS and PS if Q is restricted to be 1.5 units by a market quota? If the government wants to reduce Q to 1.5 units by a sales tax, what should be the tax rate per unit?

  5. 9.2. Impact of price interventions (1) Price interventions: (2) Impacts of a price ceiling -- If the ceiling price is above the equ. price -- If the ceiling price is below the equ. price Quantity Price Consumer surplus Producer surplus Efficiency -- Examples:

  6. 9.2. Impact of price interventions (3) Impacts of a price floor -- If the floor price is below the equilibrium price -- If the floor price is above the equ. price Quantity Price Consumer surplus Producer surplus Efficiency -- Examples

  7. 9.3. Tax incidence (1) Tax incidence theory: The study of the final burden of a tax after considering all market reactions to it. (2) Graphical analysis -- A general analysis -- Importance of demand and supply elasticities -- who will share more of a tax? -- If demand is relatively more elastic, consumers will share relatively less of a tax. -- If supply is relatively more elastic, producers will share relatively less of a tax.

  8. 9.3. Tax incidence (3) Mathematical analysis Supply: Qs = -4 + 0.5P Demand: Qd = 20 - 1P (a) Market equilibrium: Q* = P* = CS = PS = CS + PS = (b) Impacts of a tax of $1.5 per unit Q** = Pc = Pp = New CS = New PS = Tax revenue = Changes in CS = Change in PS = Change in efficiency (deadweight loss) =

  9. Take home exercise Suppose a market has the following supply & demand: Supply: Qs = -3 + 1.5P Demand: Qd = 22 - 1P (a) Market equilibrium without any tax: Q* = P* = CS = PS = CS + PS = (b) Impacts of a tax of $2.5 per unit Q** = Pc = Pp = New CS = New PS = Tax revenue = Changes in CS = Change in PS = Change in (CS+PS) =

  10. 9.4. Trade restrictions (1) Trade between two countries (2) Excess supply and excess demand (3) Impact of international trade Importer Exporter Domestic supply   Domestic demand   Domestic price   Consumer surplus (CS)   Producer surplus (PS)   Sum of CS and PS  

  11. 9.4. Trade restrictions (4) Impact of trade restrictions (e.g., import tax) (compared to free trade) Importer Exporter Domestic supply  Domestic demand  Domestic price  Consumer surplus (CS)  Producer surplus (PS)  Tax revenue (T)  Sum of CS, PS and T 
