MARKET SHOCK: A disruption of market equilibrium (that is, a market adjustment) caused by a change in a demand determinant (and a shift of the demand curve) or a change in a supply determinant (and a shift of the supply curve). A market shock can take one of four forms--an demand increase, demand decrease, supply increase, or supply decrease. An increase is seen as a rightward shift of either curve and results in an increase in equilibrium quantity. A decrease is a leftward shift of either curve and results in a decrease in equilibrium quantity. However, a change in demand results in price and quantity to change in the same direction, while a change in supply causes equilibrium price to move the opposite direction as quantity.

SUPPLY DETERMINANTS: The five basic ceteris paribus factors that affect supply, but which are assumed constant when a supply curve is constructed. The five supply determinants are resource prices, technology, other prices, sellers' expectations, number of sellers.

FACTOR MARKET, EFFICIENCY

A factor market achieves efficiency in the allocation of resources by equating marginal revenue product to factor price. Perfect competition, as the efficiency benchmark, is the only market structure to satisfy this criterion and achieve factor market efficiency. Monopsony, oligopsony, and monopsonistic competition are inefficient because they equate marginal revenue product to marginal factor cost, both of which are greater than factor price.

Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time touring the new suburban shopping complex looking to buy either any book written by Isaac Asimov or a how-to book on building remote controlled airplanes. Be on the lookout for florescent light bulbs that hum folk songs from the sixties.
