      <image:title>Microeconomics - Do You Really Need Snapchat+? - Imagine a movie theater raises ticket prices by 10%. As a result, 10% fewer people attend. The extra money per ticket is exactly canceled out by the loss in audience size, so the theater’s total revenue stays the same. Therefore, unit elastic demand is when percentage change in demand equals percentage change in price.</image:title>

      <image:title>Microeconomics - Do You Really Need Snapchat+? - For example, if the price of Snapchat+ subscriptions increases by 10% and sales drop by 20%, the PED is:</image:title>

      <image:title>Microeconomics - Do You Really Need Snapchat+? - Imagine a farmer selling wheat in a big market. The market price is exactly $2 per kilo. If the farmer charges even $2.01, it is likely that consumers will switch to another seller because dozens of other sellers are offering the same wheat at $2. Why pay the extra money?</image:title>
      <image:caption>The second they go above the going rate, demand drops to zero. Thus, perfectly inelastic is when buyers are infinitely responsive to price. Sellers must accept the market price–any higher and demand vanishes.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Microeconomics - Do You Really Need Snapchat+? - For something like insulin, no matter the price increase–from $50 to $500–patients still need it to survive, so demand doesn’t change at all. This doesn’t only go for insulin, but any other life saving medication. Thus, perfectly inelastic demand is completely unresponsive to price.</image:title>

      <image:title>Microeconomics - Do You Really Need Snapchat+? - If Snapchat raises its subscription from $3.99 to $15.99, tons of people unsubscribe because Snapchat+ is simply a luxury, not a necessity. The percentage drop in subscribers is larger than the percentage increase in price. Therefore, the quantity demanded is relatively responsive to price.</image:title>

      <image:title>Microeconomics - Do You Really Need Snapchat+? - Think bottled water. If the price goes from $1.00 to $1.50, people still buy nearly the same amount because water is a basic necessity. The change in price hardly changes the quantity demanded. Therefore, inelastic demand refers to quantity demanded being relatively unresponsive to price</image:title>

      <image:title>Microeconomics - The Tug-of-War That Runs the World: Supply and Demand - Imagine you open a lemonade stall at JIS. On the first day, you sell lemonade for IDR 10,000 per cup. You bring 10 lemonade cups, and they’re gone in 10 minutes: everyone wants one! That’s high demand.</image:title>

      <image:title>Microeconomics - The Tug-of-War That Runs the World: Supply and Demand - These two ideas are in a perpetual state of tug-of-war. They always push and pull until they meet at one point, which we call equilibrium (the price at which quantity supplied equals quantity demanded). Now, say there is a new trend–Prime is THE new refreshing drink—and suddenly, your poor lemonade has been forgotten about. Suddenly, the demands for your product shift, moving downwards, thus decreasing.</image:title>

      <image:title>Opinions - Are China’s Falling Prices a Problem or Just an Inconvenient Story? - Perfect competition has three main characteristics:</image:title>
      <image:caption>There are a very large number of firms in the industry (check, whether that be for Solar Panels or EVs) All firms sell homogeneous products (check, solar panels are indeed very similar to each other) There are no barriers to entry (half-check…there are some, but with the scale at which prices across industries are falling, it is likely that some fit this criterion.)</image:caption>

      <image:title>Opinions - Are China’s Falling Prices a Problem or Just an Inconvenient Story? - And, just as the video implies, we benefit from the optimal consumer surplus and social surplus. Prices are settled at the equilibrium level (Pe), and the quantity supplied is also at the social optimum (Qe).</image:title>
      <image:caption>Overall, both theory and intuition seem to suggest that what China is going through is positive!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Opinions - Are China’s Falling Prices a Problem or Just an Inconvenient Story? - However, without considering contextual knowledge of what has happened or is currently happening in the Chinese economy, this graph is worse than useless; it is misleading, and I would argue intentionally slow. China’s growth was at an all-time high after a period of reform to a more capitalistic market structure following the 1990s, growth which continued well into the 2000s (and growth which is mirrored by wage growth in the graph), so of course, the numbers are bound to be ridiculously high.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I mean, could you imagine a 15% increase in your wages every year? Never mind that, it is also unreasonable to expect that such wage growth at such a level in the 2000s would continue.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Opinions - Why Being a Woman Is Simply More Expensive - It’s 6 AM, I’m out on a run and realise I’m missing deodorant. I swing into the corner shop, head toward the self‑care shelf, and there it is: a 50ml roll‑on labelled “Woman – Soft” in pink, priced at $5.99. Beside it, a 75ml blue one, labelled “Men – Extra  Dry,” is also $5.99.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The men’s version gives me 15 ml extra for the same price. On the next shelf, a similar story unfolds: men’s shampoo (400 ml) is $5.99, while the women’s bottle (325 ml) is $7.00; a 120 g men’s soap is $1.50, and the 100 g women’s bar is $2.50. Small differences in size, scent and packaging add up – being a woman simply costs more.</image:caption>
