Unit 2: Consumer
Choice, Demand,
and Supply
Lecture #2:
Determinants of supply and demand…
shifting the curves
SUBSTITUTION EFFECT
• At a lower price buyers have an incentive to
substitute what is now a less expensive product for
similar products that are now relatively more
expensive.
• The lower priced product is seen as a “better deal”
• Why do you think products like Coke run specials?
INCOME EFFECT
• The impact a change in price of a product has on a
consumer’s real income and consequently on the
quantity demanded of that good
The Market Never Stands Still
• ENTIRE curves for both supply and demand can shift to
the left or right
• Changes that INCREASE supply and demand shift the curve
to the right
• Changes that DECREASE supply and demand shift the curve
to the left
CHANGES IN PRICE OF A PRODUCT

Consumer Behavior
There are several factors that change overall consumer
demand
Determinants of Demand
1) Change in Consumer Taste and Preferences
2) Change in Consumer Income
3) Change in Consumer Expectations
4) Change in the Price of Related Goods…
•
SUBSTITUTE GOODS
•
COMPLEMENTARY GOODS
5) Change in the Number of Consumers
Substitutes and Complements
• Substitute Goods
• A product that is used in place of another
• Chick-fil-a has a huge sale on sandwiches…it impacts the
demand for burgers
• Complementary Goods
• A product that is used together with another good.
• If cost of peanut butter rises, demand for jelly would decrease
and shift its curve to the left
