Demand Supply Interaction

Demand Supply Interaction
To determining the price of a factor of production we need both the demand curve and the supply curve of the factor of production. In fig. DD is the demand curve and SS is the supply curve of the factor of production. Now the equilibrium price of the factor of production will be determined by the point of interaction of the demand and supply curves. In the fig at point E the two curves interact each other and therefore the equilibrium price and remuneration of the factor will be less than its supply. In the case the competition among the sellers of factor will be tend to reduce the price to OW the demand for the factor will be greater than the supply of it the competition among the buyers of factor will tend to increase the price to OW at which the demand and supply of the factor of production will be equal.
Assumptions: the modern theory of distribution is based on certain assumptions. They are as follows:
(i) These exists perfect competition is commodity and factor markets.
(ii) The factor units of production are homogeneous and perfect substitutes of each other.
(iii) Each factor is perfectly divisible.
(iv) The law of variable proportions operates in production.
(v) The state does not intervene to equate the price of the factor service.
Critical Appraisal: since the modern theory of production includes the forces of both demand and supply of the factor in the determination of the factor price and therefore it can be said as improvement over the marginal productivity theory. It offers a more complete and more satisfactory explanation of the problem of distribution. But the modern theory of factor pricing presents a over simplified approach to an extremely complicated question. The theory rests upon highly unrealistic assumptions. In the view of the certain economists the real world is so far from these assumptions that the competitive model is of very limited use.

    Improvement and excellence in Higher Education

    A lot is varying in higher education. Most essentially, apprentice themselves are changing. Subsequent to long decades of ruling out, college access has extended opportunities for minority students, first-generation students and low-income students. In this year students are more probable to attend community college than any other postsecondary alternative and more probable to be older and living away from campus and may be joining part-time while balancing work as well as family. The symbolic picture of an 18-year-old high school graduate walking across a blossoming campus toward her dorm room no longer reflects the actuality of today’s college student. Institutions of higher education are act in response to these changes, partially by making course delivery more pliable. Technology has prepared this even further possible, introducing teaching as well as learning that is less forced by time and place. Technology is as well making new kinds of embedded assessment and adaptive curriculu...

    Contribution of Quantitative Techniques to Managerial Economics

     Contribution of Quantitative Techniques to Managerial Economics   Mathematical Economics and Econometrics are utilised to construct and estimate decision models useful in determining the optimal behaviour of a firm. The former helps to express economic theory in the form of equations while the latter applies statistical techniques and real world data to economic problems. Like, regression is applied for forecasting and probability theory is used in risk analysis. In addition to this, economists use various optimisation techniques, such as linear programming, in the study of behaviour of a firm. They have also found it most efficient to express their models of behaviour of firms and consumers in terms of the symbols and logic of calculus. Thus, Managerial Economics deals with the economic principles and concepts, which constitute 'Theory of the Firm'. The subject is a synthesis of economic theory and quantitative techniques to solve managerial decision problems. It is rn...
