In this unit, you should have learned about:- How and why factor demand determinants shift the factor demand curve.
- The three main factor demand determinants -- product demand, factor productivity, and other prices.
- That an increase in factor demand is a rightward shift of the factor demand curve and that a decrease in factor demand is a leftward shift of the factor demand curve.
- How the product demand determinant is reflected by the product price and how changes in product price cause the factor demand curve to shift.
- How the factor productivity determinant is includes changes in technology and education and is reflected by marginal physical product and how changes in factor productivity cause the factor demand curve to shift.
- How the other prices determinant captures both substitute and complement relations between factors and how changes in other prices cause the factor demand curve to shift.

These three risk preferences are indicated by three marginal utility of income possibilities, decreasing (risk aversion), increasing (risk loving), and constant (risk neutrality).
