Demand refers to the quantity of a good that consumers are able and willing to purchase at a given price over a period of time. Demand is represented through demand schedules and demand curves, which show the relationship between price of a good and the quantity demanded. Factors that influence demand include: price of the good, consumer income, price of related goods, tastes and preferences, and expectations of future price changes. Demand can change through changes in quantity demanded, caused by changes in price with other factors held constant, or shifts in the demand curve caused by changes in other factors besides price.
