HARD MONEY: Historically money that is in the form of precious metals, especially gold. In modern times, any national currency that is expected to retain its value (and even appreciate in value), and is readily acceptable for most international transactions. The U.S. dollar, German marc, and Swiss franc tend to be near the top of the list of hard money (also termed hard currency).

    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.

    AGGREGATE DEMAND SHIFTS

    Changes in the aggregate demand determinants cause the aggregate demand curve to shift. The mechanism is comparable to that for market demand determinants and market demand. There are two alternatives--an increase in aggregate demand and a decrease in aggregate demand. An increase in spending by any of the four sectors--household, business, government, and foreign--shifts the aggregate demand curve to right. A decrease in spending by these four sectors shifts the aggregate demand curve to left.

    Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time browsing about a thrift store wanting to buy either a coffee cup commemorating last Friday (you know why) or a wall poster commemorating the first day of spring. Be on the lookout for mail order catalogs with hidden messages.
