The negative slope is often referred to as the " law of demand ", which means people will buy more of a service, product, or resource as its price falls.

The above formula usually yields a negative value, due to the inverse nature of the relationship between price and quantity demanded, as described by the " law of demand ".

Colloquially, the Alchian Allen theorem is also known as the shipping the good apples out theorem ( Thomas Borcherding ), or as the third law of demand .

For inelastic goods, because of the inverse nature of the relationship between price and quantity demanded ( i . e ., the law of demand ), the two effects affect total revenue in opposite directions.

The law of demand states that the rate of consumption falls as the price of the good rises, even when the consumer is monetarily compensated for the effect of the higher price; this is called the substitution effect.

In economics, "'Veblen goods "'are types of material commodities for which the demand is proportional to its high price, which is an apparent contradiction of the law of demand; Veblen goods also are commodities that function as positional goods.

There is some question whether the Law of Demand was developed by Gregory King and then used in some of Charles Davenant's writings or whether King and Davenant jointly developed the idea based on King's statistical work and published their theory in Davenant's pamphlets.

Unlike modern mainstream economists, Cheung's analysis does not rely on advanced mathematical techniques but solely on the two basic building blocks of price theory : one is the axiom of constrained maximisation and the other, the law of demand ( one that already incorporates the law of diminishing marginal returns ).
