Supply Shifters
Elasticities deal only with the impact of own-price (note: own-price refers, for example, to the impact of a price change in pork on the quantity of pork) changes on supply. However, there are other factors which affect supply by moving or "shifting" the supply curve. It is a minor point, but if a supply curve shifts, the elasticities may or may not remain valid.
Supply shifters:
(1) Change in the price of inputs to production
point of impact:changes MC and AC curves.
(2) Technology
point of impact:production function
(3) Number of sellers
point of impact: more or fewer producers to sum into supply curve.
(4) Future price expectations
point of impact: point on MC curve producer shoots for.
(5) Taxes subsidies
point of impact: MC and AC curves.
(6) Government restrictions
point of impact:production function
(7) Weather
Point of impact: production function
(8) Prices of related goods
Point of impact: through market price - not common in specialized agricultural production. However, classic example was lamb and wool products which are joint products (complements in production). Corn and soybeans would be substitutes in production (forget for the moment that planting corn after soybeans is beneficial so may be complementary in long run).
True
A change in any one or more of these determinants of supply, or supply shifters, will move the supply curve for a product either right or left.
Demand shifters include consumer income, number of consumer (population), consumer taste and preferences, and expectations: future prices of complements and substitutes and future income.
