Re: ZOMG MICRO ECONOMICS WTFFFF
Sometimes when I'm at a restaurant and I demand something loud enough, people "supply" it for me. Does that help?

[ QUOTE ] [/ QUOTE ] WOW, AMAZING [/ QUOTE ] Good example for a complete price-inelastic demand. No matter how cheap you offer yourself, the demand of these three remains zero. |

Re: ZOMG MICRO ECONOMICS WTFFFF
just to clear something up, running regression models is very boring. they never make sense and you always get a lousy R bar. [censored] them. sorry, i'm on econ tilt.

Re: ZOMG MICRO ECONOMICS WTFFFF
Seriously, though, I took microeconomics two years ago. I don't remember jack crap about it other than the unbelievably thick accent my professor had. I gave up trying to understand her and stopped going to class.
I wound up with an A. |

hi bbv, i have an allegedly difficult midterm on this topic tomorrow. i would appreciate your thoughts on: supply and demand elasticity aggregate demand curves social surplus & dead weight loss intertemporal consumption models why i am not 'cramming' (LOL) for this with hot chicks [/ QUOTE ] i majored in econ. its super easy. Supply and Demand, just remember, Equilibrium occurs where S=D, if there is too much of one or the other, a surplus or deficit forms Elasticity %change P/% change in Q. land is perfectly inelastic. E=100000000000000000000, because no matter what the price change, there will be no change in quantity consumed. Stuff like wheat is very elastic, if someone sells wheat for a lot more than the other farmer, no one will buy it from him. E is near zero Aggregate Demand Curces, just add all the demand curves horizonally Social Surplus=Net benefit to society, this stuff is created when benefits of something outweight its costs, like giving money to people who live near airports to make them happy about their [censored] conditions Intermodal Consumption Models- Pretty sure this just means how consumption changes over time Remember, if you are ever confused, just remember when Marginal Cost=Marginal Benefit, we have achieved the efficient solution. Micro is so easy if you dont do well you are a moron. /serious post |

Re: ZOMG MICRO ECONOMICS WTFFFF
would social surplus be the same thing as positive externalities? Deadweight loss is what society loses because of less transactions occuring after a tax is imposed.
BTW Im in microecon this semester too and we have a midterm thursday supply and demand wtf easy? elasticity is %change in quantity over %change in price. I believe inelastic is over one, elastic below one, unit elastic = 1. |

Re: ZOMG MICRO ECONOMICS WTFFFF
yea thats right.
here let me put it this way. consumer surplus is when someone buys a product for $5 dollars that they value at 6 dollars. they have a surplus of 1 dollar. producer surplus is when someone sells something for 5 dollars they value at 3 dollars. Essentially, society (consisting only of buyer and seller) has gained 3 dollars worth of utility from this transaction. thus, there is a social surplus. Note this can happen where both buyer and seller are happy. Social surplus is thus consumer surplus+producer surplus. So this will be look like the consumer surplus triangle (which is right) plus the producer surplus triangle (which is also right), creating a triangle pointing right on the S and D graph. Note: Most government activities produce a NEGATIVE social surplus for society. Seriously. |
