  2. Law of supply - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_supply

    A supply is a good or service that producers are willing to provide. The law of supply determines the quantity of supply at a given price. [5]The law of supply and demand states that, for a given product, if the quantity demanded exceeds the quantity supplied, then the price increases, which decreases the demand (law of demand) and increases the supply (law of supply)—and vice versa—until ...

  3. Supply and demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand

    A fall in production costs would increase supply, shifting the supply curve to the right and down. Mathematically, a supply curve is represented by a supply function, giving the quantity supplied as a function of its price and as many other variables as desired to better explain quantity supplied. The two most common specifications are:

  4. Supply (economics) - Wikipedia

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

    Supply is often plotted graphically as a supply curve, with the price per unit on the vertical axis and quantity supplied as a function of price on the horizontal axis. This reversal of the usual position of the dependent variable and the independent variable is an unfortunate but standard convention.

  5. Price elasticity of supply - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_elasticity_of_supply

    Unit Elastic supply: This is when the E s formula equals to one, meaning that quantity supplied and price change by the same percentage. Using the previous example to show unit elasticity, when there is a 10% increase in price, there will also be a 10% increase in quantity supplied. [8]

  6. Economic graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_graph

    The supply and demand model describes how prices vary as a result of a balance between product availability and demand. The graph depicts an increase (that is, right-shift) in demand from D 1 to D 2 along with the consequent increase in price and quantity required to reach a new equilibrium point on the supply curve (S).

  7. Economic equilibrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_equilibrium

    An increase in technological usage or know-how or a decrease in costs would have the effect of increasing the quantity supplied at each price, thus reducing the equilibrium price. On the other hand, a decrease in technology or increase in business costs will decrease the quantity supplied at each price, thus increasing equilibrium price.

  8. Quantity adjustment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantity_adjustment

    In economics, quantity adjustment is the process by which a market surplus leads to a cut-back in the quantity supplied or a market shortage causes an increase in supplied quantity. It is one possible result of supply and demand disequilibrium in a market. Quantity adjustment is complementary to pricing.

  9. Supply-side economics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply-side_economics

    [1] [2] According to supply-side economics theory, consumers will benefit from greater supply of goods and services at lower prices, and employment will increase. [3] Supply-side fiscal policies are designed to increase aggregate supply, as opposed to aggregate demand, thereby expanding output and employment while lowering prices. Such policies ...
