Detailed explanation-1: -The demand curve shifts to the left if the determinant causes demand to drop. That means less of the good or service is demanded. That happens during a recession when buyers’ incomes drop. They will buy less of everything, even though the price is the same.
Detailed explanation-2: -If the AS curve shifts back to the left, the combination of lower output, higher unemployment, and higher inflation, called stagflation, occurs. If AS shifts out to the right, a combination of lower inflation, higher output, and lower unemployment is possible.
Detailed explanation-3: -Factors that can shift the demand curve for goods and services, causing a different quantity to be demanded at any given price, include changes in tastes, population, income, prices of substitute or complement goods, and expectations about future conditions and prices.
Detailed explanation-4: -The demand curve shifts when the quantity of a product or service demanded at each price level changes. If the quantity demanded at each price level increases, the demand curve shifts rightward. Inversely, if the quantity demanded at each price level decreases, the demand curve will shift leftward.
