MARKET
is an interaction between the buyers and sellers of trading
or exchange.
it is where the consumer buys and the seller sell.
GOODS MARKET
the most common type of market because it is where we buy consumer goods.
LABOR MARKET
is where the workers offer services and look for jobs, and where employers look for workers to hire.
FINANCIAL MARKET
Which includes the stock market where securities of corporations traded.
is a market in which people trade financial securities and derivatives at low transaction costs. Some of the
securities include stocks and bonds, raw materials and precious metals, which are known in the financial
markets as commodities.
MARKET
it is important because it is where a person who has excess
goods can dispose them to those who need them.
this interaction should lead to an implicit agreement
between buyers and sellers on volume and price.
in purely competitive market, the agreed price between a
buyer and seller is also market price or price for all
DEMAND
is the willingness of a consumer to buy a
commodity at a given price.
DEMAND
SCHEDULE
shows the various quantities the consumer is
willing to buy at various prices.
DEMAND FUNCTION
a demand function shows how the quantity demanded of a good
depend on its determinants, the most important of which the price
of the good itself.

DEMAND CURVE
is a graphical illustration of the demand schedule, with the price
measured on the vertical axis (Y) and the quantity demanded
measured on the horizontal axis (X).
The demand curve is a graphical representation of the relationship
between price and demand. The graphs show the commodity’s price
on the Y-axis and quantity on the X-axis. It follows the economics law
of demand.
INCOME EFFECT
is felt when a change in the price of a good changes consumer's real income or
purchasing power, which is the capacity to buy with a given income. In other
words, purchasing power is the volume of goods and services one can buy
with his/her income. If a good becomes more expensive, real income
decreases and the consumer can only buy less goods and services with the
same amount of money income. The opposite holds with a decrease in the
price of a good and increase in real income.
SUBSTITUTION EFFECT
is felt when a change in the price of a good changes demand due to
alternative consumption of substitute goods. For example, tower price
encourages consumption away from higher — priced substitutes on top of
buying more with the budget. Conversely, higher price of a product
encourages the consumption of its cheaper substitutes further discouraging
demand for the former already limited by less purchasing power.
CETERIS PARIBUS
NON-PRICE DETERMINANTS OF
DEMAND
if the ceteris paribus assumption is dropped, non-price variables that
also affect demand are now allowed to influence demand. These
non-price factors include income, taste, expectations, prices of
related goods, and population
NON-PRICE DETERMINANTS OF
DEMAND
These non-price determinants can cause an upward or downward
change in the entire demand for the product and this change is referred
to as shift of the demand curve. The demand function will now read:
D = f {P, T, Y, E, PR, NC}, which states that demand for a good is a
function of Price (P), Taste (T), Income , Expectations (E), Price of
related goods (PR}, and number of consumers (NC}. Factors other than
the price of the product are the non-price factors of demand.

NON-PRICE DETERMINANTS OF
DEMAND
Non-price determinants of demand are factors that impact the demand for
goods or services, not including the price point being charged.
Examples of non-price determinants of demand include:
Changes in real income
Changes in tastes/preferences
Changes in the price of related goods (substitutes and complements)
Changes in the number of consumers
Future price expectations

When a change in the price of a good causes the quantity demanded for
that good to change, this is illustrated on the same demand curve and is
simply a movement from one point to another on that Curve.
