- Why relaxing the ceteris paribus assumption enables further analysis of demand and markets.
- How the changes in the demand determinants cause rightward or leftward shifts in the demand curve.
- The five basic demand determinants: income, preferences, prices of other goods, buyers' expectations, and number of buyers.
- How income affects the demand for normal goods differently than inferior goods.
- How a change in the price of a substitute goods affects demand differently than a change in the price of a complement good.
- Most important of all, the difference between a change in demand, caused by a change in a demand determinant, and a change in quantity demanded, caused by a change in price.
