  2. Laffer curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laffer_curve

    Supply-side economics is a school of macroeconomic thought that argues that overall economic well-being is maximized by lowering the barriers to producing goods and services (the "Supply Side" of the economy). By lowering such barriers, consumers are thought to benefit from a greater supply of goods and services at lower prices.

  3. Supply and demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand

    Increased demand can be represented on the graph as the curve being shifted to the right. At each price point, a greater quantity is demanded, as from the initial curve D 1 to the new curve D 2 . In the diagram, this raises the equilibrium price from P 1 to the higher P 2 .

  4. Law of demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_demand

    The law of demand, however, only makes a qualitative statement in the sense that it describes the direction of change in the amount of quantity demanded but not the magnitude of change. The law of demand is represented by a graph called the demand curve, with quantity demanded on the x-axis and price on the y-axis. Demand curves are downward ...

  5. Comparative advantage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparative_advantage

    Comparative advantage in an economic model is the advantage over others in producing a particular good.A good can be produced at a lower relative opportunity cost or autarky price, i.e. at a lower relative marginal cost prior to trade. [1]

  6. Demand curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand_curve

    A sales tax on the commodity does not directly change the demand curve, if the price axis in the graph represents the price including tax. Similarly, a subsidy on the commodity does not directly change the demand curve, if the price axis in the graph represents the price after deduction of the subsidy.

  7. Lyapunov stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyapunov_stability

    The mathematical theory of stability of motion, founded by A. M. Lyapunov, considerably anticipated the time for its implementation in science and technology. Moreover Lyapunov did not himself make application in this field, his own interest being in the stability of rotating fluid masses with astronomical application.

  8. Economies of scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economies_of_scale

    However, the economies of scale due to the increase in size do not depend on indivisibility but exclusively on the three-dimensionality of space. Indeed, indivisibility only entails the existence of economies of scale produced by the balancing of productive capacities, considered above; or of increasing returns in the utilisation of a single ...

  9. Consumer choice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_choice

    The theory of consumer choice is the branch of microeconomics that relates preferences to consumption expenditures and to consumer demand curves.It analyzes how consumers maximize the desirability of their consumption (as measured by their preferences subject to limitations on their expenditures), by maximizing utility subject to a consumer budget constraint.
