  2. 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 ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Law of demand - Wikipedia

    An increase or decrease in price of housing will not shift the demand curve rather it will cause a movement along the demand curve for housing i.e. change in quantity demanded. But if we look at mortgage rates (a factor other than price), even if housing prices remain unchanged, an increased mortgage rate leads to a lower willingness to buy at ...

  5. Inferior good - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_good

    In economics, inferior goods are goods whose demand decreases when consumer income rises (or demand increases when consumer income decreases). [2] [3] This behaviour is unlike the supply and demand behaviour of normal goods, for which the opposite is observed; [4] normal goods are those goods for which the demand rises as consumer income rises ...

  6. 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]

  7. Economic equilibrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_equilibrium

    Equilibrium can change if there is a change in demand or supply conditions. For example, an increase in supply will disrupt the equilibrium, leading to lower prices. Eventually, a new equilibrium will be attained in most markets. Then, there will be no change in price or the amount of output bought and sold — until there is an exogenous shift ...

  8. Induced demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_demand

    When the supply curve shifts from S1 to S2, the equilibrium price decreases from P1 to P2, and an increase in quantity demanded from Q1 to Q2 is induced.. In economics, induced demand – related to latent demand and generated demand [1] – is the phenomenon whereby an increase in supply results in a decline in price and an increase in consumption.

  9. Supply (economics) - Wikipedia

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

    If the seller believes that the demand for his product will sharply increase in the foreseeable future the firm owner may immediately increase production in anticipation of future price increases. The supply curve would shift out. [6] Price of inputs: Inputs include land, labor, energy and raw materials. [7]
