SUPPLY and DEMAND The basic model of market economics
Demand Schedule
Demand Curve $ $/unit Units/week 单位 / 周 0
Determinants of Demand Market price Consumer income Prices of related goods Tastes Expectations
Movements along the demand curve 0 D1D1 $/unit units/week A C $2.00 4
Shifts in the demand curve 0 D1D1 $/unit units/week D3D3 D2D2 Increase in demand Decrease in demand Q2Q1Q3 P
Tilts in the demand curve (change in slope) 0 D1D1 $/unit Units /week D2D2 Pa Pb QaQbQa Qb The flatter the demand curve, the greater the change in quantity for a change in price
Supply Schedule

Determinants of Supply Market price Input prices Technology Expectations Number of producers
