New Study Reveals How Demand Prices Impact Consumer Behavior
The article discusses the concept of "demand price" in economics, which was introduced by Alfred Marshall in 1890. It refers to the price a consumer is willing to pay for an additional unit of a product, based on how much they already have. The more they have, the lower the price they are willing to pay for more. This idea is represented by a demand schedule or curve, showing how price changes with quantity. For products that can be divided into smaller units, the demand price is the price per unit a consumer is willing to pay for a tiny increase in quantity.
