...Exogenous variable: variable is taken as determined by factors not discussed in the given model Ex: Outer-ring of apartments Endogenous variable: A variable that is caused by one or more variable in the model. Optimization Principle: People try to choose the best patterns of consumption that they can afford Equilibrium Principle: Prices adjust until the amount that people demand of something is equal to the amount that is supplied Reservation Price: A person’s maximum willingness to pay for something Demand Curve: A curve that relates the quantity demanded to price. Supply Curve: Measures how much people wish to supply at each price Equilibrium Price: p*; price where the quantity of apartments demanded equals the quantity supplied Comparative Statics: asking how price changes when various aspects of the market change Four possible ways of allocating apartments to people: (Apt example) The competitive market – Pareto Efficient A discriminating monopolist – Pareto Efficient An ordinary monopolist – Pareto Inefficient Rent control – Pareto Inefficient Pareto efficiency or economic efficiency Pareto Improvement: If we can find a way to make some people better off without making anybody else worse off. Pareto Inefficient: If an allocation allows for a Pareto improvement Pareto Efficient: If an allocation is such that no Pareto improvements are possible Short run: Fixed supply of variable Lon run: Supply of variable can change Budget constraint: use...
