  2. 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.

  3. Economic graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_graph

    A common and specific example is the supply-and-demand graph shown at right. This graph shows supply and demand as opposing curves, and the intersection between those curves determines the equilibrium price. An alteration of either supply or demand is shown by displacing the curve to either the left (a decrease in quantity demanded or supplied ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. Comparative statics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparative_statics

    where is the quantity demanded, is the quantity supplied, P is the price, a and c are intercept parameters determined by exogenous influences on demand and supply respectively, b < 0 is the reciprocal of the slope of the demand curve, and g is the reciprocal of the slope of the supply curve; g > 0 if the supply curve is upward sloped, g = 0 if ...

  6. Demand curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand_curve

    An example of a demand curve shifting. D1 and D2 are alternative positions of the demand curve, S is the supply curve, and P and Q are price and quantity respectively. The shift from D1 to D2 means an increase in demand with consequences for the other variables

  7. Deadweight loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadweight_loss

    The deadweight loss is the area of the triangle bounded by the right edge of the grey tax income box, the original supply curve, and the demand curve. It is called Harberger's triangle. Harberger's triangle, generally attributed to Arnold Harberger , shows the deadweight loss (as measured on a supply and demand graph) associated with government ...

  8. Inverse demand function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_demand_function

    The marginal revenue function has twice the slope of the inverse demand function. [9] The marginal revenue function is below the inverse demand function at every positive quantity. [10] The inverse demand function can be used to derive the total and marginal revenue functions. Total revenue equals price, P, times quantity, Q, or TR = P×Q.

  9. 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 ...
