Supply and demand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Even with downward-sloping demand curves, it is possible that an increase in income may lead to a decrease in demand for a particular good, probably due to the existence of more attractive alternatives which become affordable: a good with this property is known as an inferior good. The theory of supply and demand is important for some economic schools' understanding of a market economy in that it is an explanation of the mechanism by which many resource allocation decisions are made. In this case the good demanded is actually prestige, and not a car, so when the price of the luxury car decreases, it is actually changing the amount of prestige so the demand is not decreasing since it is a different good (see Veblen good). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Demand   (5091 words)

Aggregate demand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In Marxian economics, the equation of aggregate demand with expenditure on GDP is rejected as false, on conceptual and statistical grounds. Put another way, it is the demand for the gross domestic product of a country when, and only when, it is in equilibrium (the total new production sold through the market). In economics, aggregate demand is the total demand for goods and services in the economy (Y) during a specific time period. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Aggregate_demand   (1399 words)

Demand Demand is a relation that shows the quantities that buyers are willing and able to purchase at alternative prices during a given time period, all other things remaining the same. The direction in which a demand curve shifts in response to a change in income depends on the type of good represented by the demand curve. See the Practical #4A Help Sheet for instructions and examples on graphing a demand schedule. www.cals.ncsu.edu /course/are012/readings/demand.html   (1018 words)

Demand As the regional graphs illustrate, Asia was the region with the fastest demand growth until the 1998 economic crisis in East Asia. Gasoline demand, which rises in the warmer months, exhibits a shallower swing between the "low" demand season and the "high" demand season. Thus, the methodology overstates "demand" when the product moves into wholesaler or retailer storage and understates it during the period when it is actually consumed. www.eia.doe.gov /pub/oil_gas/petroleum/analysis_publications/oil_market_basics/Demand_text.htm   (2571 words)

Demand, by David R. Henderson: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty Some of the modern evidence for the law of demand is from econometric studies which show that, all other things being equal, when the price of a good rises, the amount of it demanded decreases. The law of demand states that when the price of a good rises, the amount demanded falls, and when the price falls, the amount demanded rises. When economists refer to demand, they usually have in mind not just a single quantity demanded, but what is called a demand curve. www.econlib.org /library/Enc/Demand.html   (987 words)

The Short Run Demand is a schedule which shows the various amounts of a product consumers are willing and able to purchase at each price. If both supply and demand curves change, the result is indeterminate - the changes on equilibrium price and quantity depend on how much each curve has changed. "change in demand" - a shift in the entire demand curve either to the right (an increase in demand) or to the left (a decrease in demand). www.theshortrun.com /classroom/glossary/macro/demand.html   (600 words)

Demand for Oil Outstripping Supply It will happen because the demand for oil is bound to outstrip the supply of oil, and of natural gas and coal and of other hydrocarbons. By 2015, or a decade away, demand is expected to increase by more than two-thirds, or by another 60 million barrels a day. Its calculation is widely criticized, with its forecasts for increases in demand dismissed as far too conservative. www.commondreams.org /views04/0128-10.htm   (837 words)

On the other hand, if the demand for pizzas is not responsive to changes in price, a fall in the price of pizzas will also mean a fall in total revenue. www.loyno.edu /~walker/econb200h9.html   (792 words)

IBM: On-demand computing has arrived CNET News.com On-demand computing dovetails with the utility computing idea, which has it that customers should be able to pay varying prices for computing power depending on how demand for that power waxes and wanes. Big Blue expects one outsourcing area of its on-demand work, in which IBM takes over components of a company's business, to be a $150 billion market in 2004 and to grow 12 percent to 14 percent each year for the next five years. Palmisano said another obstacle for the on-demand vision is cultural momentum in companies--particularly when it comes to the entrenched idea of breaking up companies into autonomous divisions, each with its own profit and loss. news.com.com /2100-7339-5106577.html   (1266 words)

Price Elasticity of Demand [Mackinac Center for Public Policy] For example, the demand for automobiles would, in the short term, be somewhat elastic, as the purchase of a new vehicle can often be delayed. Over the long run, the demand for automobiles in rural areas would probably be inelastic, since there are few alternative modes of transportation. The "law of demand," namely that the higher the price of a good, the less consumers will purchase, has been termed the "most famous law in economics, and the one that economists are most sure of." www.mackinac.org /article.asp?ID=1247   (687 words)
