BALANCED-BUDGET AMENDMENT: A proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would constrain total government spending to be less than or equal to total tax collections. Such an amendment would effectively eliminate the federal deficit, which results when the spending exceeds taxes. The logic behind such an amendment is to prevent discretionary use of fiscal policy, which is often blamed for political business cycles and the resulting problems of inflation and unemployment. It is also touted as a way to limit the size of the Federal government.

Lesson 6: Market Supply | Unit 4: Determinants Page: 17 of 19

Topic: Summary <=PAGE BACK | PAGE NEXT=>

  • How relaxing the ceteris paribus assumption makes further analysis of supply and markets possible.
  • How the changes in the supply determinants cause rightward or leftward shifts in the supply curve.
  • The five basic supply determinants: resource prices, technology, prices of other goods, sellers' expectations, and number of sellers, and how each shifts the supply curve.
  • How a change in the price of a substitute-in-production affects supply differently than a change in the price of a complement-in-production.
  • Most important of all, the difference between a change in supply, caused by a change in a supply determinant, and a change in quantity supplied, caused by a change in price.
