    Figure 5: Equilibrium in both production and consumption in the Robinson Crusoe economy. At equilibrium, the demand for coconuts will equal the supply of coconuts and the demand for labour will equal the supply of labour. [5] Graphically this occurs when the diagrams under consumer and producer are superimposed. [7] Notice that, MRS Leisure ...

  4. General equilibrium theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_equilibrium_theory

    In economics, general equilibrium theory attempts to explain the behavior of supply, demand, and prices in a whole economy with several or many interacting markets, by seeking to prove that the interaction of demand and supply will result in an overall general equilibrium.

  5. Say's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Say's_law

    The whole of neoclassical equilibrium analysis implies that Say's law in the first place functioned to bring a market into this state: that is, Say's law is the mechanism through which markets equilibrate uniquely. Equilibrium analysis and its derivatives of optimization and efficiency in exchange live or die with Say's law.

  6. Supply and demand - Wikipedia

    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. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. Production (economics) - Wikipedia

    It can be expressed both in terms of nominal and real values. The real surplus value to the producer is an outcome of the real process, real income, and measured proportionally it means productivity. The concept "real process" in the meaning quantitative structure of production process was introduced in Finnish management accounting in the 1960s.
