Learning GoalsIn this chapter, you will learn12345How competitive marketsmaximize consumer andproduce surplusHow competitive marketsresult in economic efficiencyHow taxes create deadweightlosses that reduce efficiencyHow governments may intervenein markets to combineefficiency with acceptabledistribution of wealth andincomeHow markets are interrelated,and how changes in one marketwill affect other marketsin the economy
Chapter 10THE EFFICIENCY OFCOMPETITIVEMARKETS∂In earlier chapters, we focused on the product market and saw that supplyand demand come into balance at an equilibrium price and quantity. In equilibrium,the quantity of goods demanded by consumers equals the quantitysupplied by firms. We have also seen that labor and capital markets achieve equilibriumsimilarly. In the labor market, labor supply and demand come into balanceat an equilibrium wage; in equilibrium, the supply of labor by householdsequals the demand for labor by firms. In the capital market, equilibrium is achievedthrough adjustment in the interest rate; in equilibrium, the amount of savings suppliedby households equals the amount of borrowing by firms. When all three marketsare in equilibrium, the basic economic questions—What gets produced? Bywhom? How? For whom?—are resolved through the interactions of householdsand firms in the marketplace. When all of the economy’s central markets haveachieved equilibrium in this way, economists say that the economy is in generalequilibrium.Understanding how markets provide answers to these basic economic questionsis important. But we also are interested in evaluating whether markets do a goodjob. When the assumptions of the basic competitive model hold, will the economyproduce the right amounts of all the thousands and thousands of different goodsand services? Will society’s scarce resources be used efficiently? Once we evaluate howmarkets in our basic competitive model operate, we will be ready to extend the modelin Part Three to deal with situations in which markets do not work perfectly (becausecompetition is not perfect, for instance).215
