  2. Demand curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand_curve

    Movement "along the demand curve" refers to how the quantity demanded changes when the price changes. Shift of the demand curve as a whole occurs when a factor other than price causes the price curve itself to translate along the x-axis; this may be associated with an advertising campaign or perceived change in the quality of the good. [3]

  3. Law of demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_demand

    A change in quantity demanded can be indicated by a movement along the existing demand curve that is caused only by a change in price. For instance, let's take the example of a housing market. An increase or decrease in price of housing will not shift the demand curve rather it will cause a movement along the demand curve for housing i.e ...

  4. Supply and demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand

    Supply chain as connected supply and demand curves. In microeconomics, supply and demand is an economic model of price determination in a market.It postulates that, holding all else equal, the unit price for a particular good or other traded item in a perfectly competitive market, will vary until it settles at the market-clearing price, where the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied ...

  5. Elasticity (economics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elasticity_(economics)

    The price elasticity of supply measures how the amount of a good that a supplier wishes to supply changes in response to a change in price. [14] In a manner analogous to the price elasticity of demand, it captures the extent of horizontal movement along the supply curve relative to the extent of vertical movement. If supply elasticity is zero ...

  6. Supply (economics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_(economics)

    Movements along the curve occur only if there is a change in quantity supplied caused by a change in the good's own price. [10] A shift in the supply curve, referred to as a change in supply, occurs only if a non-price determinant of supply changes. [10]

  7. Law of supply - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_supply

    A supply is a good or service that producers are willing to provide. The law of supply determines the quantity of supply at a given price. [5]The law of supply and demand states that, for a given product, if the quantity demanded exceeds the quantity supplied, then the price increases, which decreases the demand (law of demand) and increases the supply (law of supply)—and vice versa—until ...

  8. Substitution effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substitution_effect

    But the move from A to C can be decomposed into two parts. The substitution effect is the change that would occur if the consumer were required to remain on the original indifference curve; this is the move from A to B. The income effect is the simultaneous move from B to C that occurs because the lower price of one good in fact allows movement ...

  9. Price elasticity of supply - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_elasticity_of_supply

    The elasticity of supply will generally vary along the curve, even if supply is linear so the slope is constant. [1] This is because the slope measures the absolute increase in quantity for an absolute increase in price, but the elasticity measures the percentage change.
