  2. Price system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_system

    A price system may be either a regulated price system (such as a fixed price system) where prices are administered by an authority, or it may be a free price system (such as a market system) where prices are left to float "freely" as determined by supply and demand without the intervention of an authority. A mixed price system involves a ...

  3. Economic equilibrium - Wikipedia

    This will tend to put downward pressure on the price to make it return to equilibrium. Likewise where the price is below the equilibrium point (also known as the "sweet spot" [3]) there is a shortage in supply leading to an increase in prices back to equilibrium. Not all equilibria are "stable" in the sense of equilibrium property P3.

  4. General equilibrium theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_equilibrium_theory

    In partial equilibrium analysis, the determination of the price of a good is simplified by just looking at the price of one good, and assuming that the prices of all other goods remain constant. The Marshallian theory of supply and demand is an example of partial equilibrium analysis.

[6] Together with the law of supply, the law of demand provides to us the equilibrium price and quantity. Moreover, the law of demand and supply explains why goods are priced at the level that they ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_floor

    A price floor is a government- or group-imposed price control or limit on how low a price can be charged for a product, [1] good, commodity, or service.
