  2. Economic equilibrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_equilibrium

    Equilibrium may also be economy-wide or general, as opposed to the partial equilibrium of a single market. Equilibrium can change if there is a change in demand or supply conditions. For example, an increase in supply will disrupt the equilibrium, leading to lower prices. Eventually, a new equilibrium will be attained in most markets.

  3. Market structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_structure

    The market structure determines the price formation method of the market. Suppliers and Demanders (sellers and buyers) will aim to find a price that both parties can accept creating a equilibrium quantity. Market definition is an important issue for regulators facing changes in market structure, which needs to be determined. [1]

  4. Convexity in economics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convexity_in_economics

    For example, a solid cube is convex; however, anything that is hollow or dented, for example, a crescent shape, is non‑convex. Trivially, the empty set is convex. More formally, a set Q is convex if, for all points v 0 and v 1 in Q and for every real number λ in the unit interval [0,1], the point (1 − λ) v 0 + λv 1. is a member of Q.

  5. Long run and short run - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_run_and_short_run

    In long-run equilibrium of an industry in which perfect competition prevails, the LRMC = LRAC at the minimum LRAC and associated output. The shape of the long-run marginal and average costs curves is influenced by the type of returns to scale. The long-run is a planning and implementation stage.

  6. Supply and demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand

    Supply chain as connected supply and demand curves. In microeconomics, supply and demand is an economic model of price determination in a market.It postulates that, holding all else equal, the unit price for a particular good or other traded item in a perfectly competitive market, will vary until it settles at the market-clearing price, where the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied ...

  7. IS–LM model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IS–LM_model

    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.

  8. Edgeworth box - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgeworth_box

    The conceptual framework of equilibrium in a market economy was developed by Léon Walras [7] and further extended by Vilfredo Pareto. [8] It was examined with close attention to generality and rigour by twentieth century mathematical economists including Abraham Wald, [9] Paul Samuelson, [10] Kenneth Arrow and Gérard Debreu. [11]

  9. Perfect competition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_competition

    The real estate market is an example of a very imperfect market. In such markets, the theory of the second best proves that if one optimality condition in an economic model cannot be satisfied, it is possible that the next-best solution involves changing other variables away from the values that would otherwise be optimal.
