Term
Definition
demand   the quantity of a product that consumers are willing and able to buy at a given price in each time  
🗑
effective demand   when a desire to buy a product is backed up by having an ability to pay  
🗑
derived demand   the demand for a factor of production used to produce another good or service  
🗑
derived demand- steel   the demand for steel is linked to market demand for cars and construction of new buildings  
🗑
derived demand- cloud computing infrastructure   growth in the cloud infrastructure service space is driven by increasing demand for information and data storage , e.g. the surge in demand for online video streaming and online gaming  
🗑
derived demand- transport   a fall in demand for commuting during the pandemic led to a steep decline in the demand for public transport  
🗑
derived demand- cobalt   50% of all cobalt demand is for battery use such as for smartphones and electric vehicles  
🗑
derived demand- logistics   falls in demand for new cars means a reduced demand for logistics services provided by companies such as DHL  
🗑
logistics   the process of coordinating and moving resources from one location to storage at the desired destination  
🗑
cloud computing   the practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the internet to store, manage, and process data, rather than a local server or a personal computer  
🗑
infrastructure   the basic physical systems of a business, region, or nation and often involves the production of public goods or production processes  
🗑
normal good   a good that experiences an increase in it’s demand due to a rise in consumers' income  
🗑
the basic law of demand   there is normally an inverse relationship between the price of a good and demand(as prices fall we see an expansion/extension of demand or as price rises there will be a contraction of demand)  
🗑
ceteris paribus when drawing a demand curve   all factors are held constant except one- the price of the product itself  
🗑
demand curve   shows the relationship between the price of an item and quantity demanded over a period of time  
🗑
reason 1 why more is demanded as price falls   the income effect  
🗑
the income effect   when the price of a good falls the consumer can maintain the same consumption for less spending, if it is a normal good then some of the increase in real income is used to buy more  
🗑
reason 2 why more is demanded as price falls   the substitution effect  
🗑
the substitution effect   when the price of a good falls, ceteris paribus, the product is now relatively cheaper than an alternative and some consumers will switch their spending form an alternative good or service  
🗑
impact of the substitution effect   the more substitutes there are in a market + the lower the cost and inconvenience of switching = the bigger the substitution effect is likely to be  
🗑
diminishing marginal utility and the demand curve   when more of a good is consumed additional utility from each extra unit consumed will fall- because consumers are assumed to be rational they won’t pay more for a good than the additional utility it provides, so price and quantity are inversely related  
🗑
the demand curve and price falling   a person switches away from rival products towards the product, a persons willingness and ability to buy the product increases, a person’s opportunity cost of purchasing the product falls  
🗑
inferior goods   a good whose demand drops when people's incomes rise  
🗑
competitive demand   occurs when there are alternative services or products a customer can choose from  
🗑
joint demand   when you need two goods because they work together to provide a benefit for the consumer, so two complementary goods and services are said to be in joint demand  
🗑
peer pressure   influence from members of one's peer group  
🗑
herd behaviour   a phenomenon in which individuals act collectively as part of a group, often making decisions as a group that they would not make as an individual  
🗑
cost of credit   to the expenses charged to the borrower in a credit agreement  
🗑
credit   a contractual agreement in which a borrower receives something of value immediately and agrees to pay for it later, usually with interest  
🗑
a change in price causes:   a movement along the demand curve  
🗑
increase in any other factor than price:   shift in the demand curve  
🗑
cross-price elasticity of demand   the percentage change in the quantity demanded of a given product due to the percentage change in the price of another "related" product  
🗑
elasticity of demand   how demand responds to a change in price or income  
🗑
cross-price elasticity of demand for two complements   negative  
🗑
composite demand   where a product has more than one demand, so an increase in demand for one product leads to a fall in supply of the other, e.g. milk used for cheese, yoghurt, butter and fertilisers  
🗑
utility   measures the satisfaction we get from purchasing and consuming a product  
🗑
total utility   the total satisfaction from a given level of consumption  
🗑
marginal utility   the change in satisfaction from a given level of consumption  
🗑
diminishing marginal utility   theory believes in the assumption of diminishing returns  
🗑
assumption of diminishing returns   the marginal utility of extra units decline as more is consumed  
🗑
rational choice theory   assumes that consumers always behave rationally in allocating their limited budget between different products to maximise total satisfaction from their purchases  
🗑
behavioural economists   challenge the assumption of pure rationality in people’s everyday decisions  
🗑
complement   goods and services that are used and bought together  
🗑
composite demand   demand for a product that has more than one use  
🗑
excess demand   the difference between the quantity supplied and the higher quantity demanded when price is set below the equilibrium price, resulting in queuing and an upward pressure on price  
🗑
law of demand   inverse relationship between price and demand  
🗑
off-peak demand   periods of time when demand for consumers is below normal levels, so firms often lower the price to stimulate demand  
🗑
rational choice   involves the weighing up of costs and benefits and trying to maximise the surplus of benefits over costs  
🗑
real disposable income   income adjusted fro inflation after direct taxes  
🗑
seasonal demand   demand that varies according to the time of year  
🗑
speculative demand   demand for financial assets where investors expect the price to rise in the future  
🗑
Veblen good   as price increases people buy more of these goods to demonstrate their social status  
🗑
willingness to pay   the maximum price a consumer is prepared to pay to obtain a product  
🗑
effective demand   the level of demand that represents a real intention to purchase by people with the means to pay  
🗑
notional demand   the aggregate quantity of goods which would be demanded if all the markets were in equilibrium  
🗑
potential demand   where the consumer possesses the necessary purchasing power, but is not currently buying the product under consideration  
🗑
law of demand   there is an inverse relationship between price and demand  
🗑
ceteris paribus   ’all things being equal’  
🗑
complements   products which are bought and used together  
🗑
the paradox of value   examines why goods that are not essential to life can command a much higher price than goods that are essential to life, e.g. water and diamonds  
🗑
seasonality   fluctuations in output and sales related to the season of the year  
🗑
factor market   a market where factors of production are bought and sold  
🗑
composite demand   goods have more than one use  
🗑
