What is Demand?
- Demand is the quantity of a good or service that consumers are willing and able to purchase at various prices during a specific time frame
- Demand implies both the willingness and ability to purchase
Effective Demand
- Effective demand is the desire to buy a good, coupled with the means to purchase it, and the willingness to use those means.
- Only effective demand is considered in economic analysis and business decisions.
Quantity Demanded
- The quantity demanded is always expressed at a given price.
- The quantity demanded is a flow, meaning it is expressed over a period of time (e.g., dozens of oranges per day).
- Demand refers to the different quantities consumers are willing to buy in a market during a given period at various prices, taking into account income, and the prices of related goods.
Determinants of Demand
- Price of the Commodity: There is an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded. Higher prices generally lead to lower demand, and vice versa, assuming all other factors remain constant (ceteris paribus).
-
Price of Related Commodities:
- Complementary Goods: The demand for one good increases when the price of a complementary good decreases (e.g., a fall in the price of petrol-driven cars increases demand for petrol). Conversely, an increase in the price of a complementary good reduces demand for the related good.
- Substitute Goods: Demand for a good increases when the price of a substitute good increases (e.g., a fall in the price of tea increases demand for tea and lowers demand for coffee). Conversely, a fall in the price of a particular product decreases the demand for its substitute. This is a direct or positive relationship.
-
Disposable Income of the Consumer:
- Normal Goods: There is generally a direct relationship between disposable income and demand for normal goods. An increase in disposable income generally increases demand for normal goods like household furniture, clothing, and automobiles. Conversely, a decrease in income lowers the demand for normal goods.
