  2. Generalized second-price auction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_second-price...

    The generalized second-price auction (GSP) is a non-truthful auction mechanism for multiple items. Each bidder places a bid. The highest bidder gets the first slot, the second-highest, the second slot and so on, but the highest bidder pays the price bid by the second-highest bidder, the second-highest pays the price bid by the third-highest, and so on.

  3. 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 ...

  4. Effect of taxes and subsidies on price - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effect_of_taxes_and...

    The original equilibrium price is $3.00 and the equilibrium quantity is 100. The government then levies a tax of $0.50 on the sellers. This leads to a new supply curve which is shifted upward by $0.50 compared to the original supply curve. The new equilibrium price will sit between $3.00 and $3.50 and the equilibrium quantity will decrease.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobweb_model

    The cobweb model or cobweb theory is an economic model that explains why prices may be subjected to periodic fluctuations in certain types of markets.It describes cyclical supply and demand in a market where the amount produced must be chosen before prices are observed.

  6. Perfect competition - Wikipedia

    Let be the 'price' (the rental) of a certain factor , let and be its marginal product in the production of goods and , and let and be these goods' prices. In equilibrium these prices must equal the respective marginal costs and ; remember that marginal cost equals factor 'price' divided by factor marginal productivity (because increasing the ...

    So we can say that while the direction of effect of the demand intercept on the equilibrium price is ambiguous when all we know is that the reciprocal of the supply curve's slope, g, is negative, in the only relevant case (in which the price actually goes to its new equilibrium value) an increase in the demand intercept increases the price.

  8. First-price sealed-bid auction - Wikipedia

    In effect, this variant simulates the Bayesian-Nash equilibrium strategies of the players, so in the Bayesian-Nash equilibrium, both bidders bid their true value. This example is a special case of a much more general principle: the revelation principle.

  9. Bertrand competition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertrand_competition

    Additionally, equilibrium is not achieved when firms set different prices; the higher-priced firm earns nothing, prompting it to lower prices to undercut the competitor. Therefore, the sole equilibrium in the Bertrand model emerges when both firms establish a price equal to unit cost, known as the competitive price.
