What effect does income have on demand?
An increase in income tends to shift the demand curve for a good or service:For a normal good, the curve will shift to the right, indicating an increase in the demand at the same price.For an inferior good, the curve will tend to shift to the left, indicating a decrease in demand at the same price.
Is income held constant along the demand curve?
Yes, an increase or decrease in income will cause a shift in the demand curve right or left depending on if the good is inferior, normal, or superior
Is an increase in demand represented by a movement up the demand curve?
An increase in demand is represented by a shift of the demand curve to the right; not a movement along the demand curve. An increase in the quantity demanded would be a movement down the demand curve.
What happens to demand and demand curve when there is an increase in the factor?
If there is an increase in demand then a new demand curve appears to the right of the original, but if there is an increase in quantity demanded, then there will only be an increase in price and a new demand curve will not appear.
Assuming increase a price of commodity X where x is an inferior good decompose the total effect of price change into substitution n income effect also derive the demand curve?
decompose total effect of price increase for an inferior good and giffen into substitution and income effect, in each case derive both the ordinary and compensated demand curve
How do you show on a demand curve an increase in the demand for a good?
You can choose to shift the demand curve to the right i.e. expansion of demand.
Why is the ordinary demand curve flatter than a compensated demand curve if the good is a normal good but the reverse is the case if the good is inferior?
because the ordinary demand curve ignores the income effect of price changes.also since the compensated demand curve is less inelastic than an ordinary demand curve.
How is an increase in demand represented?
by a shift to the right of the demand curve
What is is a shift of the demand curve to the right (an increase in demand) or to the left (a decrease in demand).?
Change in demand.
What is the difference between change in demand curve and shift in demand curve?
Change in demand curve is caused by the change in the price of the product. This is the change that occurs ON THE DEMAND CURVE. The price changes changes the QUANTITY DEMANDED, not the demand curve itself. Shift in demand curve is caused by NON PRICE DEMAND DETERMINANTS. Basically it shifts the ENTIRE curve (right (increase) or left (decrease)). Change in income, change in number of consumers, taste and preferences, price of related goods, and future expectations all cause shifts in demand curve. For example, an increase in the number of consumers would shift the demand to the right because demand would increase.
An increase in the demand for notebooks raises the quantity of notebooks demanded but not the quantity supplied?
False. An increase in demand means a shift of the demand curve to the right, it will increase both price and quantity supplied.There is no shift of the supply curve.
In economic what is a change in demand?
It is a shift of the demand curve to the right (an increase in demand) or to the left (a decrease in demand).
