  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Cobweb model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobweb_model

    The equilibrium price is at the intersection of the supply and demand curves. A poor harvest in period 1 means supply falls to Q 1, so that prices rise to P 1. If producers plan their period 2 production under the expectation that this high price will continue, then the period 2 supply will be higher, at Q 2.

  5. General equilibrium theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_equilibrium_theory

    Calculating the equilibrium price of just one good, in theory, requires an analysis that accounts for all of the millions of different goods that are available. It is often assumed that agents are price takers, and under that assumption two common notions of equilibrium exist: Walrasian, or competitive equilibrium, and its generalization: a ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Price floor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_floor

    The equilibrium price is determined when the quantity demanded is equal to the quantity supplied. Further, the effect of mandating a higher price transfers some of the consumer surplus to producer surplus, while creating a deadweight loss as the price moves upward from the equilibrium price.

  8. Perfect competition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_competition

    Equilibrium in perfect competition is the point where market demands will be equal to market supply. A firm's price will be determined at this point. In the short run, equilibrium will be affected by demand. In the long run, both demand and supply of a product will affect the equilibrium in perfect competition.

  9. 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 ...
