LAW OF SUPPLY: The direct relationship between supply price and the quantity supplied, ceteris paribus. This fundamental economic principle indicates that as the price of a commodity increases, then the quantity of the commodity that sellers are able and willing to sell in a given period of time, if other factors are held constant, also increases. This law, while not quite as iron-clad as the law of demand, is quite important to the study of markets.

Lesson 4: Production Possibilities | Unit 2: The Schedule
|
Page: 5 of 24
|
This is a simple, hypothetical production possibilities schedule for the economy.- The economy is using all resources with given technology to efficiently produce two goods, jogging shoes and quartz clock calibrators.
- Bundles A through K represent production alternatives for the economy, such as bundle D with 3 calibrators and 425 pairs of shoes. We have unlimited possibilities using available resources and technology to the fullest extent.
- All shoes, no calibrators, bundle A.
- All calibrators, no shoes, bundle K.
- Some of each good, bundles E or J.
- How about 9 calibrators and 410 pairs of shoes? No! Each bundle is the maximum we can produce.

INDUCED GOVERNMENT PURCHASES Government purchases that depend on income or production (especially national income and gross domestic product). That is, changes in income induce changes in government purchases. Induced government purchases reflect the observation that the government sector (especially state and local governments) is inclined to use tax revenue, which increases with income, for purchases. They are measured by the marginal propensity for government purchases (MPG) and are reflected by the positive slope of government purchases line. The alternative to induced government purchases is autonomous government purchases, which do not depend on income.
