  2. Economic equilibrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_equilibrium

    In economics, economic equilibrium is a situation in which the economic forces of supply and demand are balanced, meaning that economic variables will no longer change. [ 1 ] Market equilibrium in this case is a condition where a market price is established through competition such that the amount of goods or services sought by buyers is equal ...

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Approximate Competitive Equilibrium from Equal Incomes

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximate_Competitive...

    A-CEEI (and CEEI in general) is related, but not identical, to the concept of competitive equilibrium. Competitive equilibrium (CE) is a descriptive concept: it describes the situation in free market when the price stabilizes and the demand equals the supply. CEEI is a normative concept: it describes a rule for dividing commodities between people.

  6. Golden Rule savings rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Rule_savings_rate

    The efficient level of capital income tax in the steady state has been studied in the context of a general equilibrium model and Judd (1985) has shown that the optimal tax rate is zero. [6] However, Chamley (1986) says that in reaching the steady state (in the short run) a high capital income tax is an efficient revenue source. [7]

  7. Income–consumption curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income–consumption_curve

    In economics and particularly in consumer choice theory, the income-consumption curve (also called income expansion path and income offer curve) is a curve in a graph in which the quantities of two goods are plotted on the two axes; the curve is the locus of points showing the consumption bundles chosen at each of various levels of income. The ...

  8. Distribution (economics) - Wikipedia

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

    In economics, distribution is the way total output, income, or wealth is distributed among individuals or among the factors of production (such as labour, land, and capital). [1] In general theory and in for example the U.S. National Income and Product Accounts , each unit of output corresponds to a unit of income.

  9. Hicksian demand function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hicksian_demand_function

    The substitution effect always is to buy less of that good. The income effect is the change in quantity demanded due to the effect of the price change on the consumer's total buying power. Since for the Marshallian demand function the consumer's nominal income is held constant, when a price rises his real income falls and he is poorer.
