Today's Year 12 Recap is looking at the topic of demand curves. Demand curves provide economists with a graphical way of representing the quantity demanded of a good or service at any given price. Being able to understand the basic downward shape of demand curves and the distinction between a movement along the demand curve and a shift is a crucial skill among economists.
Demand curves are vital for demand & supply analysis - the core bedrock of many microeconomic essay responses. Understanding how a factor is likely to shift the demand curve for a market and being able to diagrammatically represent this is an essential skill.
