  • due to fads, beliefs, cultural shifts
  • has a predictable impact on demand

a change in quantity demanded of a good that is a result of a change in the good’s price

18
Q

Substitute goods

A

if a price of one good leads to an increase in the demand for the other good

19
Q

if a rise in the price of one good leads to decrease in demand for the other good

20
Q

Normal and Inferior goods relationship

A

when a rise in income increases the demand for a good(normal good) which decreases demand for the other good(inferior good)

21
Q

Individual demand curve

A

illustrates the relationship between quantity demanded and price for an individual consumer

22
Q

Market demand curve

A

shows the combined quantity demanded by all consumers

23
Q

The Supply Curve

A

the quantity that producers are willing to produce and sell(the quantity supplied)depends on the price they are offered to make it

24
Q

Supply Curve: shifts of the curve

A

rightward shift: at any given price producers will supply a larger quantity of the good than before
leftward shift of the curve: at any given price producers will supply a smaller quantity of the good than before

25
Q

5 principle factors that shift the supply curve of a good or service

A
  • input prices
  • the prices of related goods or services
  • producer expectations
  • number of producers
  • technology
    i-rent
26
Q

Supply Curve: Changes in input prices

A
  • to produce outputs (goods) you need inputs
  • increase of input $: makes the production of the final good more expensive for producers: leftward shift
  • decrease of input $: makes the production of the final good less expensive for producers: rightward shift
27
Q

Supply Curve: Changes in the Prices of Related Goods

A
  • a single producer often produces a mix of goods rather than a single product
  • when a producer sells several products, the quantity of a good a producer is willing to supply depends on the prices of co-produced goods
28
Q

when suppliers have a choice in when to sell their goods, changes in expected future price of the good can lead to a supply change of the good today

29
Q
