Supply for an intangible good
• Simplified insurance example
• Why would anyone supply car insurance?
• Seller expects that you will not have an
accident during the next year
• If you do, they pay the bills. If not, they still
keep the premium (price of policy)
• Prices depend on how likely there will be a
claim

Political Futures Contract
• Recall our example political futures contract
• People holding this contract get $1 if
Bradley is the Democratic nominee for
2000 and $0 otherwise
• They may be willing to sell if they are not
100% sure that Bradley will be the nominee
• Assignment 4: graphing a real supply curve

Government interventions:
Price controls
• The government sets a maximum price
– Example: the price of basic commodities in
many countries (milk, flour, bread, rice)
– what happens to the availability of this good?
• The government sets a minimum price for
wages
– Example: minimum wage
– what happens to the supply of labor?

Assignment 7
• Choose one of the current markets running
at the IEM
• Read the prospectus to make sure you understand
how the contracts work
• Using various news sources, try to determine what
events will affect prices in the IEM for two-weeks
• Using your understanding of supply and demand,
predict how prices should change
• Determine if your predictions were correct and
reconcile any discrepancies

How do bid,ask prices happen?
• The bid and ask prices you see on the IEM
trading screen are offers to buy and sell
posted by traders in the market.
• Other information available includes:
– last traded price
– volume of trades
– historical prices

How do you get contracts to sell?
• There are two ways to buy contracts
– Buy a bundle of contracts from the market
• each market has a set of contracts
• only one will pay $1, all others pay 0$
• keep the contracts that you think will pay off and
sell the others
– Buy from another trader

How do you make $ in the IEM
markets?
• Buy and hold those contracts which
eventually pay $1
• Buy contracts at a low price and sell them
when the prices rise
• Sell one of each contract when sum of all
bid prices is greater than $1 (Why?)
