Supply and Demand Demand
Relationship between demand and price the law of demand the income effect the substitution effect The demand curve assumptions other things being equal (ceteris paribus) a given time period the axes individual's and market demand curves

Supply and Demand Price and output determination
Equilibrium price and output response to shortages and surpluses shortage (D > S) price rises surplus (S > D) price falls significance of ‘equilibrium’
