Normal vs. Inferior Goods

Income Effect:1.Normal Goods – goods we demand more of when our incomes rise.2.Inferior Products – goods that consumers buy less when our incomes rise.

Similar to substitute goods (used in place of each other) - high gas prices - Drive vs. ride bus

Energy Drinks & Tacos

•Work is small groups to brainstorm other factors besides price that determines whether you are WILLING and ABLE to purchase a particular good or service.

Answers

•Substitute/complimentary goods•Income•Taste & preferences•Changes in the size or composition of the

population•Changes in expectations

Question

•How might the demand for energy drinks change if the student population of the school increases dramatically?

•How might the demand for energy drinks change if another vending machine that offered soft drinks was available?

On to … Determinants of Demand

Demand vs. Quantity Demanded•Change in QD is a change in PRICE only!

(data or story does not change – movement along the line)

•TODAY – changes in DEMAND not QD!•A change in demand is a change in one of

the determinants of demand.

DETERMINANTS OF DEMANDChanges in income (normal & inferior

goods – new vs. used car)

Changes in the prices of related goods Substitutes: goods that can replace one

another (dial-up internet vs. high speed) Compliments: goods that are consumed

together

Changes in the size or composition of the population

Change in price expectations

Changes in tastes/preferences

What does this mean?

•If these factors change the willingness and ability of consumers to purchase a good or service, then this will cause a change in the demand schedule….which creates a whole new demand curve (a whole new picture)

•Not all determinants influence the same way.

•BOTTOM LINE….there will be a new demand curve!

Movement Along a Demand Curve Versus a Shift of the Curve

• Remember there is a difference between quantity demanded and demand.

• Markets never stand still, there are always outside factors that change the actual price of the good or how much is demanded altogether.

• A change in price creates a change in the quantity demanded, other things constant. ▫ This causes a movement along the demand curve.

• A change in one of the determinants of demand causes a change in demand.▫ This causes in a shift of a demand curve. Or a new

curve.

What determinants would increase the market demand for pizza?

Determinants Increasing Demand•Increases in income•Increases in population•Increase in prices of substitute goods•Decrease in price of complement goods•Consumer expectation that prices will
