- 30 Exceptions to the Law of Supply Demand ● Giffen/Inferior Goods
- Veblen Goods
| Law of Supply ● Price variations fora product are related to the amount offered by the law of supply. ● Unlike the law of demand, the supply connection is direct rather than inverse. The more the price, the greater the supply. All else being equal, lower prices imply a lower supply. ● Higher pricing encourages providers to supply more of the product or commodity, given that their costs rise slowly. Lower prices cause a cost squeeze, which reduces supply. As a result, supply slopes are sloping upward from left to right. ● Supply restrictions, like demand constraints, can limit a product's price elasticity, but supply shocks might induce an extreme price fluctuation fora vital item. 30 Exceptions to the Law of Supply & Demand ● Giffen/Inferior Goods: One example is Giffen items, which are often low-cost staples also known as substandard goods. When incomes improve, demand for inferior items falls as people trade for higher-quality ones. However, when the price of an inferior good rises and demand rises due to customers purchasing more of it in place of more expensive alternatives, the substitution effect transforms the commodity into a Giffen good. ● Veblen Goods: Veblen products are luxury items that increase in value and, as a result, produce more significant demand levels as their prices climb since the price of these luxury goods signifies and may even raise) the owner's status. Market Equilibrium ● The equilibrium price, also known as a market-clearing price, is the price at which demand equals supply, resulting in a market equilibrium agreeable to both buyers and sellers. ● Supply and demand in quantity are balanced at the point where an upward-sloping supply curve and a downward-sloping demand curve connect, leaving no surplus or unfulfilled demand. ● The form and location of the corresponding supply and demand curves, which are influenced by various circumstances, determine the level of the market-clearing price.
