This article refers to aggregate demand in 2010 and it states that India's fiscal and monetary policies had saved India from slipping onto another recession. Firstly the article states that India relies heavily on domestic demand because it cannot heavily rely on export and therefore they needed the measures to increase aggregate demand. This increase in aggregate demand, even though it has not been mentioned, can be assumed to shift the demand curve to the right and therefore more real output is demanded at every price level.

This article showed the relation between the price and demand. The oil companies need guar gum powder for fracking to get oil, this increase the demand of guar and the guar price rised up. In our textbook, the relationship is a little bit different. Our textbook said as the price increase the demand of the product will increase, where as in this article as the demand increase the price will increase. This article showed me the mutual relation between the price and the demand.

When it comes to the reasons of deflation most of the economists see it as a monetary phenomenon which is affected by demand and supply. If the supply of money is more than demand then the value of money increases and prices go up as a consequence. When the supply of the products are higher than demand it results with the mass production which leads to the fall of prices. Some people believe that the deflation occurs because of the mass production and falling the aggregate level of demand. The biggest effect of deflation is unemployement. Deefletion is more serious and dfficult than inflation. To prevent deflation first is give an upward push to the aggreagte demand by increasing government spending or the second they can increase the money supply by decreasing cash reverse ratio.

When it comes to the deflation some of the economists believe that it is a monetary phenomenon which is affected by supply and demand. The reasons that leads to deflation are if supply of money is less than its demand than the value of money increases and the prices would go up. If the supply of the product is more tha its demand then it will lead to the mass production which the large amount of products will lead the prices to fall immidietly. The biggest effect of deflation is unempoyment. Deflation is more diffucult and serious than inflation. To prevent deflation first give an upward push to the aggregate demand by increasing government spending or the secong they can increase the money supply by decreasing cash reserve ratio.

This article talks about how wine is reaching a equilibrium between it's supply and demand. Global demand for wine is at a low right now, but the price of grapes is increasing. This means companies can't afford to supply the same amount of wine, which actually means they reach a balance with the decreased demand. This is a good representation of how a decrease in demand isn't always bad. 

This article explained the relationship between supply and demand. The industrial demand in Asia had been increasing for so long that the factories kept adding supply. When the demand dramatically fall, Asia suffered capacity indigestion. The excess supply was too severe  that the equilibrium may not happen for 7 years. The demand could not keep up with supply.

This article talks about how businesses are failing to take advantage of the aggregate demand. There is available demand (maybe hard to see) and companies, by taking too long to hire, are missing out on the demand and, hence, potential profit. 

This article is interesting because it talks about the inelasticity of tobacco. The article says that if the elasticity of demand is between 0 - 1 then it is inelastic and tobacco is 0.61. What this means is that although the price may change for tobacco, the demand remains relatively stable. This is cause for a lot of fluctuation because retailers realize they can change the price is maintain a demand. However, if the price were to increase drastically, this could bring the elasticity of demand above 1 and cause it to become elastic. 

The article is about in which countries what type of products are more elastic and inelastic. For example, milk bread has inelastic demand because even though the prices change people will still buy them to survive. Otherwise, meat, chicken has inelastic demand because people might not afford the prices if they change. Especially USA, Japan, Canada has the most inelastic demand for milk, bread and vegetables when you compare them with other nations.

In this article we can read about price and demand elasticity of food, it's written that demand for some product such as milk, bread, fresh fruit and vegetables is not elastic, because these product are part of diet food so that's why the change in price won't affect demand very much. However other it can affect the demand of some other that not suits to diet food very much.

This article talks about the Oil equilibrium and it relates it to supply, demand, opportunity cost and other external factors that affect the equilibrium. It talks about Europe's demand is "dead" and it points out the fact that they are looking at alternatives than fuel. it talks of how the demand for oil is decreasing as alternate ways are being used to generate heat and power but oil is still vital as a source of fuel. Only 2% of global fuel liquid supply is comprised of biofuels and the rest relies on oil. other factors discussed include geopolitics.

This article talked about the life of Chinese factory workers. Despite the harsh working conditions, the workers don't strike. This reminded me of demand in many different ways. 1) The demand for food will always be high because it is essential to life. The price that these people have to pay is working past the legal hours, living in unfavorable conditions, and working in unsafe factory floors. 2) The high demand for cheap products increases the demand for workers who are willing to work for under the minimum wage. This article taught me the relation between the price of a product and the wage of a worker.

This is a great article because it discusses how aggregate demand relates to other barometers of economic health when it comes to a nation, such as the unemployment rate. 

A shortfall in overall demand for products may cause our economy from growing and strengthening. As a result, the recession from all around the world is only deepening and worsening. Unemployment is at an all-time high and thus people do not have money to purchase products. This results in a shortfall in demand and a drop in aggregated demand.

This article talked about how an Iceland company Carbon Recycling International ehf, saw the rising demand and planned to increase output. It made the firm more efficient because recycling carbon reduced cost and saved resources. It also reflected the situation of perfect competition. Oil companies are price takers, they can't control the price of oil. And the product are homogeneous: oil form different company don't have significant quality difference.

This article discusses how oil is becoming an inelastic good. Although people can arrange their lives to reduce their consumption of oil, quickly there comes a point where it is not possible to purchase a smaller amount of oil. Oil would definitely be considered an essential good.

The article evaluates elasticity in terms of oil supply and demand. it states that there are still untapped oil reserves which are more expensive to obtain and requires more time. As a result, oil is becoming less elastic. it talks of possible ways of reducing oil consumption such as public transport or getting a more fuel efficient vehicle which is unlikely as it is expensive. it also evaluates the the elasticity of supply. it talks off how suppliers need a minimum price/barrel in order to keep a balanced budget so suppliers are reluctant in increasing supply in order to reduced the prices. It provides data over a 10year time period which analyses the oil consumption and supply of oil in terms of different uses and change in costs. It also relates it to the recession stating that job loss has lead to less people commuting decreasing demand and increasing price

 The article explains why apple is thriving even though it is violating the demand curve. The author believes that the reason for it is the fact that apple has good credit , and that apple is expensive. 

This article is about the demand for mobile apps. Mobile apps are commonly inexpensive or free and very useful. Matt Greenwell is an app developer and when he started working there were he had 50 colleagues and nowadays there are 300. He says this change occurred in the last year and a half. Apps are cheap and the demand for them when they cost $0 is high, some of them can even be bought for $0. This is what made the market for Apps grow at an exponential rate.

This article shows the initial stage of something that will have a snowball effect of sorts in terms of the relation between supply and demand. We can see that the yearly economic losses as a result of this shortage amounted to $50bn, meaning that companies and fisheries will attempt to compensate for these losses by raising prices in the future. It is a great example of the relation between supply, demand, and pricing. 

In this article the author explains how the state of california is in need and demand of alternative options to oil. He goes on to say how we have passed peak oil and it is necessary to find an alternative.

sorry I forgot to publish the article in correct way. The demand for Iran's currency, Rials, is decreased due to economic uncertainties. 

This article states that the aggregate demand has been expanding at a steady pace, and this has resulted to an expansion of manufacturing as well. Because the "growth in orders and sales show manufacturing is on the mend," we can see that demand is rising because companies usually buy inventory in line with demand.
