A-level学习:经济demand curve变化的形式

2011-11-02 15:02阅读:
今天我们来总结一下在A-level学习中会出现的几种描述demand curve变化的形式。
Based on what we have already learnt, the different between a movement along and a shift of the demand curve should now be obvious. Basically speaking, a movement along the demand curve is caused by a change in price and no other factors. If price increases, quantity demanded will decrease, demand contracts. On the other hand, if price decreases, quantity demanded will increase, demand extends.
A shift in demand occurs when any factors other than price changes. A shift in demand will increase or decrease the quantity demanded at each and every price. Remember, a change in the price of the product itself will never cause a shift in its demand curve. Instead it will cause an extension or contraction of demand.
我们已经学习了影响需求的很多因素。这些因素发生改变,都会影响到需求。具体到需求曲线上,我们需要注意区别的是:如果是产品的价格发生了改变,则会造成一个点移动到另一个点。如果是价格以外的因素(收入、消费者偏好、气候等)发生了改变,则会造成整个需求曲线的平移。
在不同情况下使用不同的表达方式:
1.
因为价格上升导致需求量下降:
decrease in quantity demanded,
contract/contraction
2.
因为价格下降导致需求量上升:
increase in quantity demanded,
extended/extension
3.
其他因素导致的需求上升(整条线右移)
increase in demand
outward/rightward shift of the demand curve
increase in the quantity demanded at each and every prices
4.
其他因素导致的需求下降(整条线左移)
decrease in demand
inward/leftward shift of the demand curve
decrease in the quantity demanded at each and every prices
这里要注意demandquantity demanded这两种表达方式的使用。当价格变化导致需求量变化时,用quantity demanded,其他因素导致的需求变化,则直接用demand
