Supply & Demand | Explain the difference between a shift in the supply curve and a movement along the supply curve.


Explain the difference between a shift in the supply curve and a movement along the supply curve.

























ANSWER
A movement along the supply curve occurs when the price of the good changes. A shift of the supply curve is caused by a change in something other than the good’s price that results in a change in the quantity supplied at the current price. Some examples are a change in the price of an input, a change in technology that reduces the cost of production, and an increase in the number of firms supplying the product.
