Answer to Question 1

If the price of a good falls and nothing else changes, then the quantity of the good demanded increases and there is a movement down along the demand curve, but the demand for the good remains unchanged and the demand curve does not shift.

Answer to Question 2

Market failure occurs when resources are misallocated, or allocated inefficiently. The result is waste or lost value.
