LAW OF DIMINISHING MARGINAL RETURNS: A principle stating that as more and more of a variable input is combined with a fixed input in short-run production, the marginal product of the variable input eventually declines. This is THE economic principle underlying the analysis of short-run production for a firm. Among a host of other things, it offers an explanation for the upward-sloping market supply curve. How does the law of diminishing marginal returns help us understand supply? The law of supply and the upward-sloping supply curve indicate that a firm needs to receive higher prices to produce and sell larger quantities. Why do they need higher prices?

    Market Supply

    This supply lesson provides an introduction, not only into Stuffed Amigo selling behavior, but into selling a wide range of other goods, even goods that aren't cute and cuddly. 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 for explaining a lot of economic phenomenon. Of course to use markets, we now need to consider supply.

    • The first unit of this lesson, Selling Basics, introduces the basic concept of supply and a few related terms such as supply price and quantity supplied.
    • In the second unit, Law of Supply, we move into a discussion of the law of supply, which captures the basic relation between supply price and quantity supplied.
    • The third unit, Supply Curve, then develops the supply curve, which is the graphical embodiment of the supply concept.
    • Moving onto the fourth unit, Determinants, 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, Scarcity, we make a connection between supply and the limited resources part of scarcity.

    BALANCED-BUDGET MULTIPLIER

    A measure of the change in aggregate production caused by equal changes in government purchases and taxes. The balanced-budget multiplier is equal to one, meaning that the multiplier effect of a change in taxes offsets all but the initial production triggered by the change in government purchases. This multiplier is the combination of the expenditures multiplier, which measures the change in aggregate production caused by changes in an autonomous aggregate expenditure, and the tax multiplier which measures the change in aggregate production caused by changes in taxes.
