Demand and the Law of Demand
Demand is the relation between the price of a good and the
quantity that consumers are willing and able to buy per period, other
things constant.
Law of demand: The quantity of a good that consumers are willing and able to buy per period relates inversely, or negatively, to the price, other things constant.
Substitution effect of a price changeWhen the price of a good falls, that good becomes cheaper relative to (related) goods, so consumers tend to substitute that good for other goods.
I’m taking the subway more because cab
fares have gone up
Income effect of a price change
A fall in the price of a good increases consumers’ real income .
The spike in gas prices has generated a negative income effect.
