13.6 Read the text and make a summary
Buyers would rather pay less than more, and sellers would rather get more than less. When buyers control the market, the price tends to be relatively lower - good for buyers, bad for sellers. When sellers control the market, the price tends to be relatively higher - good for sellers, bad for buyers.
Usually buyers have a maximum price that they are willing and able to pay for a good. This maximum can be called the demand price. Buyers would rather pay a lower price than a higher one. If fact, buyers would be just as happy if they could buy a good at a price of zero, or nothing. Usually, sellers are willing and able to supply a good if the price is enough to cover their production cost. This minimum can be called the supply price. In general, if the price is too low and does not give sellers enough revenue to cover cost, then they can't supply the good. Of course, suppliers will occasionally sell goods at a price less than cost, and eat the loss. This practice, however, won't keep them in business very long. Sellers are more than thrilled if the price is above the production cost. The higher the price, the more ecstatic are the sellers. In fact, there is no limit as to how ecstatic sellers would like to be. The market control results from the number of competitors in the market. If buyers have fewer competitors than the sellers, they tend to have relatively more market control. If sellers have fewer competitors than the buyers, they tend to have relatively more market control.

Recent years have witnessed a shift in international macroeconomic the
ory, with the development of a modelling ______ that widely has become known as the New Open Economy Macroeconomics. There are a number of _______within this literature. Resolution of these theoretical ________is hampered by the fact that while the theoretical literature on New Open Economy Macroeconomics has grown rapidly, the empirical literature has lagged far behind.
To date there is no work that tests New Open Economy_____ , or compares one ______to another. While earlier generations of international _______were suc
cessfully evaluated using present value tests, this cannot accommodate the more complex____of the recent generation. Without empirical testing, it is difficult to know which is preferable. And more generally, it is impossible to say whether the overall_____of the New Open Economy Macroeconomics is sufficiently accurate as a characterization of reality that it can be used reliably for policy ______.
Translate the sentences
Now nobody is surprised at macroeconomics being reliably used for
policy analysis. Creating a new economic paradigm became a necessity when the tra
ditional approach failed to explain the complexities of modern economy. After aggregating the households, business firms, government and
private sector, one can proceed with the microeconomic analysis. There is a lot of evidence of New Economic Models being tested or
compared. The perspective of underdeveloped nations forming an economic al
liance is unbelievable. "I do not mind you paying the total sum in forty monthly
instalments," agreed the salesman. Specialists intend to organise their considerable resources in an effort to
prevent data from being taken from International Financial Statistics. More money going to the underdeveloped nations will only make
things worth. The task put forward before the commission was creating a new indus
trial index that could serve as an average for various industries.
10. The chairman regretted the foreign delegates' arriving too late to participate in the discussion.
By bringing European countries together the common market constributes to their individual progress in social spheres. His immediately demanding our withdrawal proved the impossibility
