What is Demand?
refers to the quantity or amount
of goods or services consumers arewilling and able to buy at a given
price, place, and at a givenperiod of time.

Determinants of Demand
Determine the quantity of demand
Factor that influence how much ofa certain good and services peopleare willing to buy

Determinants of Demand
1. Price Factor A. Price of the good or service
- This is what the people considerin buying a certain good/service.
- price = demand (vice-versa)

Determinants of Demand
2. Non-Price Factors: A. Consumers Income
- Change in income = change in demand- Consumers buy more when income
increases- Demand decreases once income
decreases

Determinants of Demand
A. Consumers Income I. Normal Goods/Services
- goods/services increase whenincome increases.
ex: people go to health spa centersif the income rises

Determinants of Demand
A. Consumers Income II. Inferior Goods/Services
- goods/services fall when incomedecreases.
ex: diet modification instead ofliposuction as a means of reducingweight

Determinants of Demand
2. Non-Price Factors:B. Changes in Consumers Taste &
Preferences
- Increase in the taste/preference for acertain good will increase the demand
Ex: people prefer food that reduce chance ofheart disease = high demand for high fiber
diets

Determinants of Demand
2. Non-Price Factors:C. The Size of Population
- Increase in population = increase indemand ( vice-versa )
- As population grows, demand for healthservices increases

Determinants of Demand
2. Non-Price Factors:D. Prices of Related Goods and Services
- Quantity demand for any good/serviceaffected by changes in prices of relatedgood/service either substitute orcomplementary
8/10/2019 Health Economics Demand
11/42
Determinants of Demand
2. Non-Price Factors:D. Prices of Related Goods and Services
I. Substitute goods/services- can be used in place of othergoods/services- increase in the price of one good willcause an increase in the demand for theother good (vice-versa)
8/10/2019 Health Economics Demand
12/42
Determinants of Demand
2. Non-Price Factors:D. Prices of Related Goods and Services
II. Complementary goods/services- goods consumed together
- increase in the price of one good willcause an decrease in the demand for theother good
8/10/2019 Health Economics Demand
13/42
Determinants of Demand
2. Non-Price Factors:E. Consumers Expectation of Future Prices - Quantity of a good/service demanded within
any period depends not only on prices in thatperiod but also on prices in the future
- When someone expects higher prices in thefuture, tendency is to buy more of it today

Demand Function
Another way of presenting the relationship bet.the price and quantity demanded
Form of a mathematical expression
Eqn: Qd = f (P, Y,Pr, Ps)where; Qd = quantity demand
P = price of goods/services
Y = income of consumersPr = price of related commoditiesPs = population size

Law of Demand
When the pricegoes up
The quantity
demandedgoes downAnd vice-versa*
8/10/2019 Health Economics Demand
19/42
Validity of the Law of Demand
The law of demand is only true if otherdeterminants remain constant, no change, andmovement in income, population, and others.
Ex: Price of foot spa decreases by 50% fromoriginal price, then the quantity demanded forsuch treatment increases (only true if othervariables remain constant like consumersincome)

20/42
Justification for the Law of
Demand A. Income Effect- when the price of goods decreases, the
consumers can afford to buy more of it orvice-versa
B. Substitution Effect
- If the price of good the consumer buyincreases, they look for substitutions w/ alower price

Demand Terminology
Change in Quantity Demand movement ofpoints along a demand curve. Indicatesmovement from one point to another of the samedemand curve.
Ex: price of liposuction procedure falls from20,000Php to 10,000Php. This will causequantity demanded to increase from 20-40persons or from point X to Y.

What is Supply?
Amount or quantity of goods/services
producers are willing and able to supply ata given price, at a period of time.
8/10/2019 Health Economics Demand
26/42
Determinants of Supply
1. Price Factor sellers would tend tosupply more of the good at higher prices.Therefore, more goods are found in themarket at higher prices.
Ex. More students take up nursing due tohigher salary
8/10/2019 Health Economics Demand
27/42
Determinants of Supply
1. Non-Price Factor A.Cost of input used an increase in the price of
an input or the cost of production decreases the
quantity supply bec. the profitability of certainbusiness decreases.
B.Change in Technology machines that usetechnology increase quantity supply of good w/ccauses the reduction of cost of production
8/10/2019 Health Economics Demand
28/42
Determinants of Supply
C. Government Regulations and Taxes higher degree of regulation will translate tolower supply in the market
D. Government Subsidies financial aidsgiven by the government reduce cost ofproduction which encourages more supply
E. No. of firms in the market increase inthe no. of firms in the market leads to anincrease in supply of health goods
8/10/2019 Health Economics Demand
29/42
Determinants of Supply
F. Expectation of future price whenproducers expect higher prices in thefuture, the tendency is to keep their healthproducts and release them when the pricerises
G. Change in the price of related goods changes in the price of goods/serviceshave a significant effect in the supply ofsuch good/services.

Supply Function A mathematical expression of the Law of Supply
or the relationship between price (P) andquantity supply (Qs).
Equation: Qs = f (P,Ci,Pi,Gt, Gs,N)
Qs = quantity supplied P = price of goods and services Ci = change in technology
Pi = cost of inputs used Gt = govt taxes Gs = govt subsidies
N = no. of firm in the market
8/10/2019 Health Economics Demand
33/42
Supply Function
Taking into account that all factors areconstant (except price), the supplyfunction can be expressed as:
Qs=m + nP +oCi + pPi + qGt + rGs + sN Where m is the intercept and n is the slope
of the function All fixed variables will be added to the
supply function expressed as: Qs = m +nP + x
8/10/2019 Health Economics Demand
34/42
Supply Function
Unlike the demand curve, supply curvehas a positive slope where x is the sum ofoCi + pPi + qGt + rGs + sN and assumedto be constant having 0 value
Using the supply schedule of skinwhitening prod. , supply function isestimated as:
Qs = 0+10P Let us use 2 as the value of price, hence
8/10/2019 Health Economics Demand
35/42
Supply Function
Hence,Qs = 0 + 10P
Qs = 0 + 10(2)Qs = 10(2)Qs = 20

Law of Supply
States that as prices increases, quantitysupplied also increases; and as price
decreases, quantity supplied alsodecreases.
8/10/2019 Health Economics Demand
37/42
Validity of the Law of Supply
Just like the law of demand, the law of supply isonly correct if the assumption is ceteris paribus(determinants remain constant).
Ex. The price of anti-rabies vaccine increases from1,000Php to 3,000Php and w/ the cost ofproduction remaining constant, the producergets more profit and is induced to produce more

Supply Terminology
Change in quantity supplied movement alongthe supply curve. Due to a change in the price ofgoods/services
Change in supply shifting from one supplycurve to another* Shifting of the supply curve to the right
indicates that there is an increase in supply* to the left indicates decrease in supply
