  • @economicsfun great video, you couldn't make it more logical, or easier to understand. And I'm not even an economist.

  • @shinenot Wow! Thanks appreciate the positive comments.

  • Great question. Yes you are right the price the government pays is the guaranteed price (at Qd & Pfloor). What I am trying to show is the brown triangle is additional surplus that neither the consumer or producer had before.

    The quantity the government buys is Qs - Qd. The price the government pays is the new price floor (Pf). The government does not get any "surplus" and it is all transferred to the producer.

    Let me know if I did not answer your question!

  • Hi there. May I know what software you used for this particular video? Your effects are so awesome! =D And I learned a lot from your videos. You explain everything clearly. Thanks!

  • @katkatmateo thanks for your comments. I use a variety of different tools including Illustrator, Photoshop, Flash, Motion and Final Cut. Then I stick it all together. Unfortunately there is not one single too (not that I found at least) to build good animations.

  • Extremely well-demostrated!!!!! Great Job!!1

  • Hi! awesome video.

    I have a doubt though, when you're explaining the price floor with government guarantee; theres a part of the consumer surplus which goes to the producer, and then a part of producer surplus 'generated' by our tax money.

    But doesn't the price the government pay start at quantity demanded? In your explanation demand curve-Qd and Qe triangle remains unpaid for..! Shouldn't the surplus the government pays for include that small triangle as well?

    Thanks!

  • @economicsfun Okay. Thank you. =)

  • Good it really helped me for my mba exam.
