The document discusses the key factors that cause changes in demand and supply. It identifies five factors that can cause a change in demand: taste, income, market size, consumer expectations, and prices of related goods. It also outlines seven factors that can cause a supply curve to shift: resource costs, alternative output prices, technological improvements, number of suppliers, producer expectations about future prices, subsidies, and taxes. The document uses examples like new cars, used cars, and milk to illustrate how these different factors impact demand and supply.
