Intuitively we would expect sellers who have not been able to sell their product to be willing to offer it cheaper, to at least sell something. This would encourage consumers to buy more (and in the face of the fierce competition they would be reluctant to pay the initial price). Excess Supply will trigger a process of lowering the price.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of an Excess Demand we would expect a similar effect in the opposite direction. The shortage of product would push the price up. In both cases the process would only stop when the equilibrium price was reached.<\/p>\n\n    \n    <p>The mechanism that in case of imbalance would push the price towards the right level is generically known as  <span class=\"tooltip\"  data-tooltip-content=\"#tip7\" >\"market forces\".<\/span><\/p>\n\n<span class=\"tooltip_templates\">\n    <span id=\"tip7\" style=\"maxWidth=400;\" >\n     It should be clear that our definition of equilibrium is <em>static.<\/em> A price is either equilibrium or it is not. Market forces are a <em>dynamic<\/em> concept, which asks how variables move over time (if 'today' there is an Excess Demand, 'tomorrow' we will see a market response).<br>\n     The basic model we are building does not contain dynamic elements. When we talk about market forces here, we do so only intuitively. In order to properly talk about equilibrium stability (or instability), it would be necessary to use dynamic models, mathematically more advanced, out of the reach of an intermediate level course.\n\n    <\/span><\/span>\n\n<\/div>\n<script>\n       \n\t\t\n\t$('.tooltip').tooltipster({\n    \t\ttheme: ['tooltipster-light', 'tooltipster-light-customized'],\n\t\t\ttrigger: 'click',\n\t\t\tmaxWidth: '250',\n\t\t\tinteractive: true\n\n\t\t});\n     \n\t$('.tooltipfig').tooltipster({\n    \t\ttheme: ['tooltipster-light', 'tooltipster-light-customized'],\n\t\t\ttrigger: 'click',\n\t\t\tmaxWidth: '150'\n\t\t});\n\n\t$('.botondef').tooltipster({\n    \t\ttheme: ['tooltipster-light', 'tooltipster-light-customized'],\n\t\t\tmaxWidth: '250'\n\t\t});\n\t$('.btnmark').tooltipster({\n    \t\ttheme: ['tooltipster-light', 'tooltipster-light-customized'],\n\t\t\tmaxWidth: '250'\n\t\t});\n\t$('.ejemplo').tooltipster({\n    \t\ttheme: ['tooltipster-light', 'tooltipster-light-customized'],\n\t\t\tplugins: ['sideTip', 'scrollableTip'],\n\t\t\ttrigger: 'click',\n\t\t\tmaxWidth: '450',\n\t\t\tinteractive: true\n\t\t});\n\t$('.sol').tooltipster({\n    \t\ttheme: ['tooltipster-light', 'tooltipster-light-customized'],\n\t\t\tplugins: ['sideTip', 'scrollableTip'],\n\t\t\ttrigger: 'click',\n\t\t\tmaxWidth: '220',\n\t\t\tinteractive: true\n\t\t});\n\t\n\t$('.resputest').tooltipster({\n\t   \t\ttheme: ['tooltipster-shadow', 'tooltipster-shadow-customized'],\n\t\t\ttrigger: 'custom',\n\t\t\tinteractive: true,\n   \t\t\ttriggerOpen: {\n        \t\t\/\/click: true,\n        \t\t\/\/tap: true\n   \t\t\t },\n    \t\ttriggerClose: {\n        \t\tclick: true,\n        \t\ttap: true\n   \t\t\t },\n\t\t\tmaxWidth: '250'\n\t\t});\n\t\t\n\t\t$('.interactivesol').tooltipster({\n    \t\ttheme: ['tooltipster-light', 'tooltipster-light-customized'],\n\t\t\tplugins: ['sideTip', 'scrollableTip'],\n\t\t\ttrigger: 'click',\n\t\t\tmaxWidth: '220',\n\t\t\tinteractive: true\n\t\t});\n\t\n    <\/script>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Market equilibrium The competitive market for a good comprises a large number of buyers, which we will generically call consumers, and another large number of sellers, which we will call producers or firms.
