Causes for a shift of the demand curve
- Tastes and preferences
- Income and wealth
- Availability and prices of related goods
- Buyer’s expectations of the future
Why does the demand curve have a negative slope?
- Extensive margin: Newspapers: as the price goes down the number of people willing to purchase a newspaper increases (each buyer buys at most one unit).
- Intensive margin: Soda Cans: as the price goes down individuals are willing to purchase more units
- Both of the above: As the price of cans goes down more people buy sodas and some buyers buy more units as well.
Causes for a shift in the supply curve
- Input prices
- Technology
- Number and scale of sellers
- Sellers’ expectations about the future
Why does the supply curve have a positive slope?
- Extensive margin: as the price for a smartphone goes up the number of students willing to sell theirs increases (each seller sells at most one unit)
- Intensive margin: as the price for a smartphone goes up the producers each produce and sell more units
- Both of the above: When the price goes up more competitors enter the market and certain sellers sell more units.
