My midterm exam is in one hour and Ive been watching these videos all night and day to try to learn something. My class is completely self taught. We are to just read the chapters and then take a quiz and then mid and final exams and these videos are really helping me understand.

All these scenarios should be considered under the assumption of perfect competition where: 1) neither the demand or the supply side has significant market power (no monopsony, monopoly, oligopoly, etc.) 2) all economic agents share information symmetry and commit rational economic decision-making (no information asymmetry) 3) a close close economy where there is no credit market emerged (no intertemporal decision-making) 4) market mechanisms succeed in efficiently allocating available resources (no market failures) Otherwise, great contents.

In an intermediate microeconomics class, we would certainly talk about all of these. In a principles class, I usually introduce some of these a little later. You don't need to worry about them to understand the basics of how a competitive market works.

Great videos! You make a valid argument regarding maximum and minimum prices, however it's based on the main assumptions that we often make about the economy (competition, rational choice, knowledge of the market) in order to make lessons simpler and easier, but the reality is much more complex, right? For example if we knew that suppliers in a market have supernormal profits, wouldn't a maximum price be a way to deal with the situation?

@DrAzevedoEcon 2 жыл бұрын

Reality is much more complex. If you're asking what the correct way to deal with a situation in which firms have market power, there may be an incentive for government to intervene to regulate the firms. Take a look at my video on Oligopolies...I discuss this.

Thank you for well delivered lectures. I have a question related to surplus. In one of the previous videos, and also in the definition I have found, the surplus is the diference between prices. Yet, here it is computed as area. If I understand it correctly, you compute the money that could have been gained in the society. Is there a double meaning to the term or is it just simplification to make the topic more digestible? Or am I missing something? Thank you in advance.

@ 24:05, why do we need to divide the area into three parts? what is that little triangular area for?...........for consumers that buy due to other rationing mechanism/consumers with less consumer surplus?

@DrAzevedoEcon 3 жыл бұрын

I'm not completely sure I understand the second part of your question. I'm dividing it up into areas so that I can show what consumer and producer surplus look like with and without the price floor (or ceiling). If you are actually calculating CS, PS and deadweight loss you would only divide it up into the areas necessary to calculate the area you are interested in. Which triangular area are you asking about?

@GEETIKA-yn7ls 3 жыл бұрын

@@DrAzevedoEcon thanks for the response! I am asking about the triangle that you make while dividing the area A into two parts so as to calculate consumer surplus. I did not understood why we are only considering the rectangular area to calc. CS and why also not including that little triangular area

@varsitychannel2632 3 жыл бұрын

It is for calculation purpose in case you are given numbers so you gonna use formulas of triangle to calculate that part and use formulas or areeectangle to calculate the rest.. I hope I have answered you

Thank you for your explanations but still there is sthg I couldn't get. In the example u have stated which is about the minimum wage. Companies might want to use the price floor though there will be still be a surplus in jobs. So how can a minimum wage create unemployment ?

@DrAzevedoEcon 3 жыл бұрын

I'm not sure I understand your question. Any company is able to pay a wage higher than the minimum if they want (economists call this the 'efficiency wage'). An efficiency wage works like a minimum wage.....it creates a situation where the quantity demanded of labor is lower than the quantity supplied of labor....a surplus of labor....unemployment. None of that changes the fact that a minimum wage that is set above the equilibrium wage will cause quantity demanded to fall and quantity supplied to rise....in other words, it will create unemployment. Economists certainly disagree with each other as to how much unemployment is created...it depends on the elasticity of demand and supply (as well as other things that we don't discuss in a principles class).

@fedichaabani1992 3 жыл бұрын

@@DrAzevedoEcon Thank you! I didn't make the difference between the quantity of Labor and the number of Jobs. Surely a surplus of Labor can create unemployment but if we discuss a different product which would be a number of Jobs it would be a whole different case. The number of jobs would be the quantity demanded by a certain company. And the quantity supplied would be the quantity of Jobs people need. Still there would be a minimum wage , a surplus of quantity supplied, unemployment. I am not sure if what I am talking about is right. Thanks for the content you are providing.

@stelmili 2 жыл бұрын

We usually portray the labour market the other way around. Supply is the supply of working hands and demand is the demand for people to go and work. So a minimum price (price floor) over equilibrium causes a surplus of working hands-> unemployment. It works like that because people are getting paid wages in return for their time, same as a supplier is paid money in return for his goods or services.
