Study Notes
Law of Demand
- Establishes a relationship between price and quantity demanded, showing an inverse correlation; as price increases, quantity demanded typically decreases.
- External factors beyond price can also significantly impact the demand for a product.
Demand Curve Movement
- A change in product price results in movement along the demand curve, indicating a corresponding change in quantity demanded.
Shift Factors of Demand
- Prices of Related Goods: The prices of substitutes and complements can influence demand. Consumers look for substitutes to maximize their purchasing power.
- Demand shifts can occur independently of price changes due to various external factors, affecting how much of a product is desired.
Market Demand
- Calculated through horizontal summation of individual demands from all buyers in the market, providing an aggregate view of total demand for a product.
- Helps in understanding overall consumer behavior and preferences in the marketplace.
