Determinants of Demand
Table 3.1 Determinants of Demand: Factors That Shift the Demand Curve
Determinant
Examples
Change in buyers’ tastes
Physical fitness rises in popularity, increasing the
demand for jogging shoes and bicycles; cell phone
popularity rises, reducing the demand for land-line
phones.
Change in the number of buyers
A decline in the birthrate reduces the demand for
children’s toys.
Change in income
A rise in incomes increases the demand for normal
goods such as restaurant meals, sports tickets, and
necklaces while reducing the demand for inferior
goods such as cabbage, turnips, and inexpensive
wine.
Change in the prices of related
goods
A reduction in airfares reduces the demand for bus
transportation (substitute goods); a decline in the price
of DVD players increases the demand for DVD movies
(complementary goods).
Change in consumer expectations
Inclement weather in South America creates an
expectation of higher future coffee bean prices,
thereby increasing today’s demand for coffee beans.

Determinants of Demand
• Consumer taste and preference is a
powerful determinant….
