Demand is the desire to own something and the ability to pay for it. Why do we study demand before supply?
A demand curve is a graphic representation of a demand schedule.
Limits of a Demand Curve Demand curves are only accurate for specific market conditions They only take into account price
Behaviors that Affect the Law of Demand Substitution Effect: when consumers react to an increase in a good’s price by consuming less of that good and more of other goods The price of pizza rises, so your order less pizza and more Chinese takeout.
Behaviors that Affect the Law of Demand Income Effect: the change in consumption due to a change in income The price of pizza rises, so you order out less.
Law of Demand?
