  2. Supply and demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand

    If the demand decreases, then the opposite happens: a shift of the curve to the left. 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 ...

  3. Supply shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_shock

    A supply shock is an event that suddenly increases or decreases the supply of a commodity or service, or of commodities and services in general. This sudden change affects the equilibrium price of the good or service or the economy's general price level .

  4. 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 ...

  5. Deflation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deflation

    Deflation usually happens when supply is high (when excess production occurs), when demand is low (when consumption decreases), or when the money supply decreases (sometimes in response to a contraction created from careless investment or a credit crunch) or because of a net capital outflow from the economy. [11]

    Supply and demand of cars when the price of petrol decreases. An example of this would be the demand for cars and petrol.The supply and demand for cars is represented by the figure, with the initial demand .

  7. 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 ...

  8. 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.

  9. Long run and short run - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_run_and_short_run

    In the short-run, increases and decreases in variable factors are the only things that can affect the output produced by firms. [11] They could change things such as labour and raw materials. They are not able to change fixed factors such as buildings, rent, and know-how since they are in the early stages of production.
