A shift in the demand curve occurs when there is a change in factors other than its current own price or quantity demanded. These factors are:
(a) change in price of related goods (substitutes or complements)
(b) changes in income
(c) changes in tastes and prefrences
(d) change in price expectations
When the price of coffee is expected to rise in the future, people will buy more of coffee in the present. So, the demand for coffee will increase in the present and the demand curve will shift towards the right. This is depicted in Panel (c).
