All, not an economist here, but a guy who has much respect for the field. There is a thought that has always tugged at my mind, and I can't quite put a name to it. I am not talking about the "commons" thing we all learn in 101, but something a little more subtle. I am thinking of situations where people/organizations decide to "back out" of a particular market, because of altruistic or other reasons. Thereby, creating more demand, based on the price influence of their departure. Small example... driving cars is bad... driving cars causes pollution... Citizen A decides to stop driving... Citizen A had now stopped buying fuel, thereby making fuel cheaper for others. Finally, others see a drop in the price of fuel, buy more, and drive more. The only way I can describe it to myself is "nature filling a vacuum", but I have to imagine there is a name for this phenomenon. Again, just a curious rookie here!
