  2. Economic equilibrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_equilibrium

    The equilibrium price in the market is $5.00 where demand and supply are equal at 12,000 units; If the current market price was $3.00 – there would be excess demand ...

  3. Price floor - Wikipedia

    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. It is one type of price support; other types include supply regulation and guarantee government purchase price. A price floor must be higher than the equilibrium price in order to be effective ...

  4. Supply and demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand

    If the demand starts at D 2, and decreases to D 1, the equilibrium price will decrease, and the equilibrium quantity will also decrease. The quantity supplied at each price is the same as before the demand shift, reflecting the fact that the supply curve has not shifted; but the equilibrium quantity and price are different as a result of the ...

  5. Market equilibrium computation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_equilibrium_computation

    Market equilibrium computation (also called competitive equilibrium computation or clearing-prices computation) is a computational problem in the intersection of economics and computer science. The input to this problem is a market , consisting of a set of resources and a set of agents .

  6. Price support - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_support

    In economics, a price support may be either a subsidy, a production quota, or a price floor, each with the intended effect of keeping the market price of a good higher than the competitive equilibrium level. In the case of a price control, a price support is the minimum legal price a seller may charge, typically placed above equilibrium.

  7. Price controls - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_controls

    A price floor is a government- or group-imposed price control or limit on how low a price can be charged for a product, [21] good, commodity, or service. A price floor must be higher than the equilibrium price in order to be effective. The equilibrium price, commonly called the "market price", is the price where economic forces such as supply ...

  8. Walras's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walras's_law

    Walras's law is a consequence of finite budgets. If a consumer spends more on good A then they must spend and therefore demand less of good B, reducing B's price. The sum of the values of excess demands across all markets must equal zero, whether or not the economy is in a general equilibrium.

  9. Free market - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_market

    Buyers willing to pay for goods at a higher price than the equilibrium price receive the difference as consumer surplus. [38] The model is commonly applied to wages in the market for labor. The typical roles of supplier and consumer are reversed. The suppliers are individuals, who try to sell (supply) their labor for the highest price.
