    Study Notes

    Law of Demand

    • The law of demand states that as the price of a good or service increases, the quantity demanded decreases, assuming all other factors remain constant.

    Movement Along the Demand Curve

    • A change in price directly affects the quantity demanded, leading to a movement along the demand curve.

    Law of Demand Example

    • Scenario: When the price of a popular brand of sneakers decreases, consumers purchase more of those sneakers.

    Shift in the Demand Curve

    • A decrease in demand is represented by a leftward shift of the demand curve and is caused by factors like:
      • Changes in consumer income: A decrease in disposable income could lead to a decrease in demand for non-essential goods.
      • Changes in preferences: If consumers develop a preference for a substitute product, the demand for the original product could decrease.
      • Changes in consumer expectations: If consumers expect the price of a good to decrease in the future, they may delay their purchases, leading to a decrease in current demand.

    Factors Not Affecting Demand Directly

    • The law of demand focuses on the relationship between price and quantity demanded. Factors that are not directly related to the price of the good, such as production costs, do not shift the demand curve, but can change supply.
