What to Focus On

  • Equilibrium means market demand equals market supply.
  • Excess demand exists when demand exceeds supply.
  • Excess supply exists when supply exceeds demand.
  • In the labour market, households supply labour and firms demand labour.
  • Labour means hours of work, not number of labourers.
  • The hiring rule is w = MRP_L.
  • Fixed number of firms means both price and quantity can change after demand shifts.
  • Rightward demand shift raises price and quantity.
  • Leftward demand shift lowers price and quantity.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Equilibrium means only that price is stable, not that market demand equals market supply.

If demand is greater than supply, the market is in equilibrium because consumers want more of the good.

If supply is greater than demand, the market is in equilibrium because sellers have enough stock.
