Factor Demand
- The first unit of this lesson, Background, begins this lesson by laying the foundations for the study of factor demand.
- In the second unit, Derived Demand, we see how the demand for a factor of production is based on the demand for the good it produces.
- The third unit, The Curve, then derives the factor demand curve, which is the relation between the price employers are willing to pay and the quantity demanded.
- In the fourth unit, Determinants, we examine the three key determinants that shift the factor demand curve -- product price, factor productivity, and other factor prices.
- The fifth and final unit, Taking Stock, then closes this lesson with a review of factor demand and a preview of factor market analysis in other lessons.
