Ceteris Paribus
A Latin phrase meaning all other factors are held constant when analyzing the effect of one variable, such as price, on demand.
Demand Curve
A graphical representation showing the relationship between a product's price and the quantity consumers are willing to buy.
Quantity Demanded
The specific amount of a good consumers are willing to purchase at a given price, represented by a point on the demand curve.
Determinant
A factor other than price, such as preferences or income, that can cause the entire demand curve to shift.
Normal Good
A product for which demand increases as consumer income rises, reflecting typical purchasing behavior.
Inferior Good
A product for which demand decreases as consumer income rises, often replaced by higher-quality alternatives.
Substitute
A product that can replace another in consumption; if its price rises, demand for the alternative increases.
Complement
A product consumed together with another; if its price rises, demand for the paired good decreases.
Consumer Preferences
Tastes or trends influencing how much of a product people desire, independent of price changes.
Consumer Expectations
Beliefs about future events, such as price changes, that affect current demand for a product.
Number of Consumers
The total population in a market; an increase leads to higher demand, while a decrease lowers demand.
Change in Demand
A shift of the entire demand curve due to a determinant other than price, indicating more or less is desired at every price.
Change in Quantity Demanded
A movement along the demand curve caused solely by a change in the product's price.
Rightward Shift
A movement of the demand curve to the right, indicating an increase in demand at all price levels.
Leftward Shift
A movement of the demand curve to the left, indicating a decrease in demand at all price levels.
