Supply and Demand

Written by Ioannis Evangelos Haramis


An old story says that if you want an "educated economist," all you have to do is get a parrot and trainrepparttar bird to squawk "supply and demand" in response to every question aboutrepparttar 111799 economy!

Not smart enough, but... It's true thatrepparttar 111800 theory of supply and demand is a central part of economics. It is widely applicable, and also is a model ofrepparttar 111801 way economists try to think most problems through.

The theory of supply and demand is a theory of price and output in competitive markets.

Adam Smith (1723 - 1790) had argued that each good or service has a "natural price." Ifrepparttar 111802 price (of bread, for example), is aboverepparttar 111803 natural price, then more resources will be attracted intorepparttar 111804 trade (bakeries, inrepparttar 111805 example), andrepparttar 111806 price will return to its "natural" level.

We may think of demand as a force tending to increaserepparttar 111807 price of a good, and of supply as a force tending to reducerepparttar 111808 price. Whenrepparttar 111809 two forces balance one another,repparttar 111810 price would neither rise nor fall, but would be stable. This stability leads us to think of an "equilibrium" price. This "equilibrium" exists whenrepparttar 111811 price is just high enough so thatrepparttar 111812 quantity supplied just equalsrepparttar 111813 quantity demanded.
