  2. Demand curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand_curve

    In most circumstances the demand curve has a negative slope, and therefore slopes downwards. This is due to the law of demand which conditions that there is an inverse relationship between price and the demand of commodity (good or a service). As price goes up quantity demanded reduces and as price reduces quantity demanded increases.

  3. Law of demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_demand

    The demand curve, shown in blue, is sloping downwards from left to right because price and quantity demanded are inversely related. This relationship is contingent on certain conditions remaining constant. The supply curve, shown in orange, intersects with the demand curve at price (Pe) = 80 and quantity (Qe)= 120.

  4. Supply and demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand

    According to the law of demand, the demand curve is always downward-sloping, meaning that as the price decreases, consumers will buy more of the good. Mathematically, a demand curve is represented by a demand function, giving the quantity demanded as a function of its price and as many other variables as desired to better explain quantity demanded.

  5. 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.

  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. Market power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_power

    Price makers face a downward-sloping demand curve and as a result, price increases lead to a lower quantity demanded. The decrease in supply creates an economic deadweight loss (DWL) and a decline in consumer surplus. [5]

  8. Macroeconomics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macroeconomics

    The IS curve is downward sloping because output and the interest rate have an inverse relationship in the goods market: as output increases, more income is saved, which means interest rates must be lower to spur enough investment to match saving.

  9. Average cost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_cost

    A long-run average cost curve is typically downward sloping at relatively low levels of output, and upward or downward sloping at relatively high levels of output. Most commonly, the long-run average cost curve is U-shaped, by definition reflecting economies of scale where negatively sloped and diseconomies of scale where positively sloped.
