  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. Economics terminology that differs from common usage

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics_terminology_that...

    A change in quantity demanded is represented by a movement along the demand curve, while a change in demand is represented by a shift of the demand curve. [12] In popular usage a change in "demand" can refer to either what economists call a change in demand or what economists call a change in quantity demanded.

  4. Law of demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_demand

    A change in demand is indicated by a shift in the demand curve. Quantity demanded, on the other hand refers to a specific point on the demand curve which corresponds to a specific price. A change in quantity demanded therefore refers to a movement along the existing demand curve. However, there are some exceptions to the law of demand.

  5. Factor market - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor_market

    This change is reflected in a movement along the demand curve. [note 1] The curve will shift if either of its components MPL or MR change. Factors that can affect a shift of the curve are changes in (1) the price of the final product or output price (2) the productivity of the resource (3) the number of buyers of the resource and (4) the price ...

  6. Elasticity (economics) - Wikipedia

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

    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, the supply of a good supplied is "totally inelastic", and the quantity supplied is fixed.

  7. 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 ...

  8. Phillips curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phillips_curve

    Firms hire them because they see the inflation as allowing higher profits for given nominal wages. This is a movement along the Phillips curve as with change A. Eventually, workers discover that real wages have fallen, so they push for higher money wages. This causes the Phillips curve to shift upward and to the right, as with B. Some research ...

  9. Indifference curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indifference_curve

    As used in biology, the indifference curve is a model for how animals 'decide' whether to perform a particular behavior, based on changes in two variables which can increase in intensity, one along the x-axis and the other along the y-axis. For example, the x-axis may measure the quantity of food available while the y-axis measures the risk ...
