curve?: Under what conditions does such

curve take place? Give examples.

One of the Dawn of Supply and Demand states that man tends to buy more when the price is low and buy- less when the price is high. At times, however, this law may be found to be untrue, for the demand for a certain commodity may increase with the proportional riae in price. This unusual (and perhaps abnormal) behaviour thus gives rise to term "exceptional demand curve," as shown graphically below

to Q, but when the price drops from P to P (which is an equal change, in price) the quantity that is demanded is increased from 2 to which clearly. shows a greater change in quantity than when the price changes from 3 to F, Thus, that part of the demand curve (5) which shows a greater response to a aimilar change in price is known as elastic demand.

Changes in demand can take place under different circumstances, and caused by different factors.

Old commodities, for instance, may experience a.. drop in demand when they are replaced by hew commoditien which are, on the other hand, demanded on a greater acale. For example, Jaat summer, the demand for minin skirts in Hong Kong suddenly rose, while that for maxi- skirta dropped..

Changes in demand can also be caused by a change an population. It is evident that an increase in the number of people in the country will eventually cause a.greater demand for goods and services, and vice versa when there is a drop in the population. Hong Kong... for instance, between 1931 and 1961, experiences an increase of 2.2 million people, and this eloquently explains "the steady increase in the demand of consumer good. after the First World War.

Any change in a person's income 13 also bound to affect the demand for goods and services. When a person sarns more, he tends to spend more on superior goods than on inferior goods, or he may purchase more goods than he normally does. The reverse is true when he earns less. For instance, a consumer will buy more butter when he earns more, and more margarine when he earns lega

Changes in taxation can also influence changes in cemand.. For example, a higher tax on cigarettes may cause a. drop in the demand for cigarettes, for it may deter people from smoking or compel smokers to cut down their consumption.

Any drop in the use of some commodities, and any increase in others is certain to produce changes in

demand. The introduction of new commodities can also affect demand. Areated drinks for instance have displaced beverages to a large extent especially in summer. After the war, women have been known to spend mora on cosmetics than on other things.

The above factors can influence changes in demand. arrespective of any changes in price. However, a change, in price itself, can also produce changes in demand. For instance, if the price of one commodity in zaised achaumers may buy another commodity instead. unless the former does not have a close substitute. If tea, for instances becomes more expensive most people would probably turn to coffee.

is an example of an exceptional demand curve. On the other hand, the typical demand curve DD, shows that at a higher price a lesser quantity is demanded, and at a lower price, a greater quantity is demanded as to be expected according to human tendency with regard to buying.

There are three principal conditions under which an exceptional demand curve takes place.

Firstly, when

consumers realize that the price of a certain commodity is going to rise, they tend to buy more with a view to (and in the hope of) avoiding pay- ing more later. This fear that price may rise in future is (most sensibly) brought about by noticing. that a particular commodity has become slightly more expensive, partly because of a shortage of supply and partly becasue of an overwhelming increase in the demand for that commodity

For instance if a pound of butter was $2.00 yester day, and it is $2.10 today, it clearly shows that either the supply of butter is short or that the demand for butter has increased, or both, and that the price is likely to rise in the near future. Consumers an a result, will start to stock up a greater quantity of

butter, thus illustrating the fact that for certain commodities the demand is greater when the price risas, This is only true of goods which are known as necessar- les. Thus, before the outbreak of a war. exceptional demand curves are common.

Secondly, goods of ostentation, V.a. goods that are bought for decorations or ornaments, are normally demanded exceptionally, which means that people only buy and buy more) when they are expensive, such as jewellery. The demand for these gooda is therefore greater at a higher price than at a low price. If, for a moment, Rolls-Royce care were as cheap as Japan- ese Datsun cars the demand for the former would not be great. The fact that Rolls-Royce cars are expensive has put considerable prestige on the cars.

Thirdly, inferior goods normally have an except- ional demand, If the prices of consumer goods rise, people will tend to buy more. This is only true when such goods are necessaries.

For instance, take the case of a poor family. At ordinary times, the family has for breakfast, a certain amount of margarine, and a little amount of butter to supplement it, but when the general level or prices rises, the family cannot afford to buy butter, and instead, will buy, more of margarine now. The demand for margarine is therefore exceptional under such circumstances.

Exercise No. 2

(3) What do you understand by elasticity and inelast-

icity of demand? What are the factors affecting: elasticity of demand? - Mention ona commodity t好我家 has an elastic demand and, another that has an elastic demand, and justify your choice of commodities.

What do you understand by inter-related demand? Intế how many kinds can inter-related demand fall? Give examples.
