Supply and Demand Curves

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that the most important factor that causes a shift in the demand curve is the customers" preference or taste. Other factors that influence shifts in the demand curve are the customers" income or the prices for substitute and complementary goods. The author stresses that a change in price never shifts the demand curve for a particular good. The paper relates that a shift to the left in the aggregate demand curve will lower the equilibrium price, and a shift to the right will increase it; conversely, a shift to the left in the aggregate supply curve will increase the equilibrium price, and a shift to the right will lower it.

From the Paper:

"If we chose to examine how the theoretical concepts of demand and supply apply in a private club for magicians, where dinner and drinks are served, there are several different aspects to be taken into consideration. First of all, examine the owner's position and how changes and shifts in the supply and demand curves affect his decision making. Let's take a look, in the beginning, at the workforce. Basically, this is formed of freelance magicians, that are employed on a one show basis (although there may be the case that they are hired for a certain number of shows), and the waiters and waitresses, here including bartenders and auxiliary workforce."
