  2. Demand curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand_curve

    The demand is called convex (with respect to the origin [7]) if the (generally down-sloping) curve bends upwards, concave otherwise. [8] The demand curvature is fundamentally hard to estimate from the empirical data, with some researchers suggesting that demand with high convexity is practically improbable.

  3. Law of demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_demand

    The demand curve is downward sloping illustrating the inverse relationship between quantity demanded and price. Therefore, a downward sloping demand curve embeds the law of demand. In a more specific manner: [3] = (,,,)

  4. Supply and demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand

    If the demand decreases, then the opposite happens: a shift of the curve to the left. If the demand starts at D 2, and decreases to D 1, the equilibrium price will decrease, and the equilibrium quantity will also decrease. The quantity supplied at each price is the same as before the demand shift, reflecting the fact that the supply curve has ...

  5. Demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand

    The elasticity of demand changes continuously as one moves down the demand curve because the ratio of price to quantity continuously falls. At the point the demand curve intersects the y-axis, demand becomes infinitely elastic, because the variable Q appearing in the denominator of the elasticity formula is zero.

  6. Aggregate demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggregate_demand

    The aggregate demand curve is plotted with real output on the horizontal axis and the price level on the vertical axis. While it is theorized to be downward sloping, the Sonnenschein–Mantel–Debreu results show that the slope of the curve cannot be mathematically derived from assumptions about individual rational behavior.

  7. Imperfect competition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperfect_competition

    The imperfect market faces a down-ward sloping demand curve in contrast to a perfectly elastic demand curve in the perfectly competitive market. [3] This is because product differentiation and substitution occurs in the market. It is very easy for a consumer to change their seller which makes the consumer sensitive to price.

  8. AD–AS model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AD–AS_model

    The AD (aggregate demand) curve in the static AD–AS model is downward sloping, reflecting a negative correlation between output and the price level on the demand side. It shows the combinations of the price level and level of the output at which the goods and assets markets are simultaneously in equilibrium.

  9. Monopoly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly

    If he/she sets a high price, the sales volume will inevitably decline, if expand the sales volume, the price must be lowered, which means that the demand and price in the monopoly market move in opposite directions. Therefore, the demand curve faced by a monopoly is a downward-sloping curve or a negative slope.
