Supply
This supply lesson provides an introduction into selling a wide range of goods. In fact, this supply topic does more than offer insight into selling behavior. It's also the second half of the market analysis -- the first half being demand. And to reiterate what I noted during the demand lesson, market analysis is one of the most widely used tools in the study of economics that can be used to explain a lot of economic phenomenon. Of course to use markets, we need both demand and supply. And supply part is our current lesson. - The first unit of this lesson introduces the basic concept of supply and a few related terms such as supply price and quantity supplied.
- In the second unit then we move into a discussion of the law of supply, which captures the basic relation between supply price and quantity supplied.
- The third unit then develops the supply curve, which is the graphical embodiment of the supply concept.
- Moving onto the fourth unit, we examine how the five basic supply determinants cause the supply curve to shift from one location to another.
- And in the fifth and final unit, we make a connection between supply and the limited resources part of scarcity.

INELASTIC The general relation between two variables in which relatively large changes in one variable (A) cause relatively small changes in another variable (B). In other words, large changes in variable A cause relatively small changes in variable B or the percentage change in variable B is smaller than the percentage change in variable A. This characterization of elasticity is most important for the price elasticity of demand and the price elasticity of supply. Inelastic is one of two general elasticity relations between two variables. The other is elastic.
