Demand and its Determinants:
• A General Definition:
•
Demand is the quantity of a good or resource that
buyers (or demanders) are willing and able to buy under a
given set of conditions
over a given period of time.
Conditions: price, income, taste, prices of related goods,
expected prices, number of buyers, etc.
6. DEMAND CURVE
Price of
Goods
$3.00

•
The demand curve is a graph
illustrating how much of a given
product a household would be willing
to buy at different prices.

• amount of good or service
• unit of measure
• per unit of time
• “2 bottles of water per day”
8. LAW OF DEMAND
If the price of a good
then the Qd
holding other things constant!!!
9. WHY?
• higher price makes you feel poorer
• income effect
• higher price on one good,
substitute other goods.
• substitution effect

DEMANDED VERSUS CHANGE
IN DEMAND
Variables that
Affect Quantity
Demanded
A Change in
This Variable . . .
Price
Represents a movement
along the demand curve
Income
Shifts the demand curve
Prices of related
goods
Shifts the demand curve
Tastes
Shifts the demand curve
Expectations
Shifts the demand curve
Number of
buyers
Shifts the demand curve
16. TWO SIMPLE RULES FOR MOVEMENTS VS.
SHIFTS
• Rule One
• When an independent variable changes and that variable does not appear on
the graph, the curve on the graph will shift.
• Rule Two
• When an independent variable does appear on the graph, the curve on the
graph will not shift, instead a movement along the existing curve will occur.

19. IMPORTANT!!
• Change in demand
-- occurs when other factors change
-- shift to a new demand curve
• change in demand
• NOT caused by change in price of
the good
20. SUPPLY
• behavior of sellers
• relationship between
• quantity supplied of a good
• price
• holding other factors constant
28. CHANGES IN SUPPLY
• if other factors do change,
• change in supply
• shift to a new supply curve

A market is a group of buyers and
sellers of a particular good or

The terms supply and demand
refer to the behavior of people . . . as
they interact with one another in
36. SUPPLY AND DEMAND
TOGETHER
Equilibrium Price
The price that balances supply and demand. On a
graph, it is the price at which the supply and demand
curves intersect.
Equilibrium Quantity
The quantity that balances supply and demand. On a
graph it is the quantity at which the supply and demand
curves intersect.

40. SURPLUS
WHEN THE PRICE IS ABOVE THE EQUILIBRIUM PRICE, THE
QUANTITY SUPPLIED EXCEEDS THE QUANTITY DEMANDED.
THERE IS EXCESS SUPPLY OR A SURPLUS. SUPPLIERS WILL
LOWER THE PRICE TO INCREASE SALES, THEREBY MOVING
TOWARD EQUILIBRIUM.
42. SHORTAGE
WHEN THE PRICE IS BELOW THE EQUILIBRIUM PRICE, THE
QUANTITY DEMANDED EXCEEDS THE QUANTITY SUPPLIED.
THERE IS EXCESS DEMAND OR A SHORTAGE. SUPPLIERS
WILL RAISE THE PRICE DUE TO TOO MANY BUYERS CHASING
TOO FEW GOODS, THEREBY MOVING TOWARD EQUILIBRIUM.
43. THREE STEPS TO ANALYZING
CHANGES IN EQUILIBRIUM
Decide whether the event shifts the supply or
demand curve (or both).
Decide whether the curve(s) shift(s) to the left or to
the right.
Examine how the shift affects equilibrium price and
quantity.
