Suppose we have a good known as Nazarovs. It has a PES of 0.2. Suddenly, there is a huge increase in tastes and preferences for it. What happens as a result?

Why are prestige products often an exception to the law of demand?
Haricharan G.
Assume in a simple economic example that a binding/effective price floor is implemented and already in place, in a given market for some good, called “Good X”. Next, an economic change occurs in the market. The economic change that occurs is an increase in income for people who buy (a normal good) “Good X”. Assume that this is a competitive market, what will happen to the market selling price and the market quantity that is bought and sold in the market for “Good X”? Finally, please cite an example from the news of a current event in real life that relates to the economic change occurring (i.e. an increase in the number of consumers) affecting “Good X” above, and be sure to explain why it relates. Use supply and demand analysis to demonstrate your answer and be sure to provide the rationale behind what is happening and also discuss any interesting observations or outcomes. Note that the magnitudes of any supply and/or demand shifts in this example are not specified, so you may want to consider all possible scenarios.
