Disequilibrium characterizes a market that is not in equilibrium. [10] Disequilibrium can occur extremely briefly or over an extended period of time. At the other extreme, many economists view labor markets as being in a state of disequilibrium—specifically one of excess supply—over extended periods of time.
Disequilibrium macroeconomics is a tradition of research centered on the role of deviation from equilibrium in economics.This approach is also known as non-Walrasian theory, equilibrium with rationing, the non-market clearing approach, and non-tâtonnement theory. [1]
Studies of general disequilibrium showed that the economy behaved differently depending on which markets (for example, the labor or the goods markets) were out of equilibrium. When both the goods and the labor market suffered from excess supply, the economy behaved according to Keynesian theory. [1]
Monetary disequilibrium theory is a product of the monetarist school and is mainly represented in the works of Leland Yeager and Austrian macroeconomics. The basic concepts of monetary equilibrium and disequilibrium were, however, defined in terms of an individual's demand for cash balance by Mises (1912) in his Theory of Money and Credit. [1]
The main distinguishing factor between equilibrium and disequilibrium rationing in the credit markets is that the latter is not a long-term feature, and can be alleviated through changes in policy or simply through time, and does not necessarily reflect chronic or structural features of the credit market.
In contrast, non-equilibrium economics focuses on the dynamics of economic systems in states of flux, where imbalances, frictions, and external shocks can lead to persistent deviations from equilibrium or to multiple equilibria. This approach is used to study phenomena such as market crashes, economic crises, and the effects of policy ...
The equilibrium price is at the intersection of the supply and demand curves. A poor harvest in period 1 means supply falls to Q 1 , so that prices rise to P 1 . If producers plan their period 2 production under the expectation that this high price will continue, then the period 2 supply will be higher, at Q 2 .
The point where the IS and LM schedules intersect represents a short-run equilibrium in the real and monetary sectors (though not necessarily in other sectors, such as labor markets): both the product market and the money market are in equilibrium. [12] This equilibrium yields a unique combination of the interest rate and real GDP.
