Market: specific group of individuals who would potentially trade with each other. Market demand schedule: represents the sum of the quantities demanded by all individuals in the market at various prices. Market demand curve: horizontal sum of individual demand curves in that market. Movement along the demand curve occurs as a result in a change in the price of the good. Fall in price = right and downward movement along the demand curve. Rise in price = left and upward movement along the demand curve. Shift in demand: occur when the other factor that was held constant change. Normal good: an increase in income would result in an increase of the good at any given price.
