Chapter 4: Demand
"Change in Demand"
Introduction

and willingness to buy a product. Changes in demand can occur
because of changes in consumer income, in consumer taste,
and in the prices of related products. An increase or a decrease
in the number of buyers for a product or service will also
change demand.
