  2. 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 ...

  3. Supply shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_shock

    When there is a supply shock, this has an adverse effect on aggregate supply: the supply curve shifts left (from AS 1 to AS 2), while the demand curve stays in the same position. The intersection of the supply and demand curves has now moved and the equilibrium is now point B; quantity has been reduced to Y 2 , while the price level has been ...

  4. Demand curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand_curve

    The shift of a demand curve takes place when there is a change in any non-price determinant of demand, resulting in a new demand curve. [11] Non-price determinants of demand are those things that will cause demand to change even if prices remain the same—in other words, the things whose changes might cause a consumer to buy more or less of a ...

  5. Economic equilibrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_equilibrium

    In other words, prices where demand and supply are out of balance are termed points of disequilibrium, creating shortages and oversupply. Changes in the conditions of demand or supply will shift the demand or supply curves. This will cause changes in the equilibrium price and quantity in the market. Consider the following demand and supply ...

  6. Law of demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_demand

    On the one hand, demand refers to the demand curve. Changes in supply are depicted graphically by a shift in the supply curve to the left or right. [1] Changes in the demand curve are usually caused by 5 major factors, namely: number of buyers, consumer income, tastes or preferences, price of related goods and future expectations.

  7. Supply (economics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_(economics)

    A shift in the supply curve, referred to as a change in supply, occurs only if a non-price determinant of supply changes. [10] For example, if the price of an ingredient used to produce the good, a related good, were to increase, the supply curve would shift left. [11]

  8. Cobweb model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobweb_model

    If the supply curve is less steep than the demand curve near the point where the two curves cross, but more steep when we move sufficiently far away, then prices and quantities will spiral away from the equilibrium price but will not diverge indefinitely; instead, they may converge to a limit cycle.

  9. Demand-led growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand-Led_Growth

    Short run increases in demand can cause output to increase, putting upward pressure on prices. In the long run, this can cause demand to decrease; [14] or, if demand remains at a higher quantity of output, then the aggregate supply curve will also shift to a higher level of output and reach equilibrium at a higher quantity. Growth in long-run ...
