Learning Objectives
1. Distinguish between the general notions of
demand and supply used in ordinary
conversation and the precise notions
employed in the study of economics.
2. Explain what it means to shift demand and
supply and why shifts might occur.
3. Describe how the marketplace settles on the
equilibrium price and quantity.
4. Specify how demand and supply shifts cause
market equilibriums to change over time.

3.1
DEMAND
Demand relates the quantity of a good that
consumers would purchase at each of various
possible prices, over some period of time.
The ceteris paribus condition means that
we look at only one relationship at a time.
Ceteris paribus is the Latin for “holding
all else equal”.

Shifting Demand versus Movements
along a Demand Curve
A change in the price of a good causes a
change in the quantity demanded,
but does not shift demand

Changes in Demand vs. Changes in
Quantity Demanded
A price change
would change the

EQUILIBRIUM
The market clearing price and the resulting
quantity traded comprise what is referred
to as the market equilibrium, meaning that
there is no tendency for either price or
quantity to change, ceteris paribus.
