[edit] market equilibrium

The picture suggest that this page is talking about market equilibrium. I will add to the information here as such. 128.101.70.95 16:15, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What is this?

" The concept of equilibrium is also applied to describe and understand other sub-systems of the economy that do not follow the logic of supply and demand, for example, population growth. (If economic growth encourages population growth, and vice-versa, we might see this two-way relationship attaining balance or equilibrium.) This entry concerns only issues of supply and demand. " This came from this page. If this sentance says anything at all, it should be in the end as a linker to related topics. 128.101.70.95 16:24, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clarification needed

Re this bit in the first paragraph of "Traits": "In most simple microeconomic stories of supply and demand in a market, we see a static equilibrium in a market; however, economic equilibrium can exist in non-market relationships and be dynamic. This example is also partial equilibrium, while equilibrium may be multi-market or general."

How about changing it to this:

"In most simple microeconomic stories of supply and demand in a market, we see a static equilibrium in a market; however, economic equilibrium can exist in non-market relationships and can be dynamic. Equilibrium may also be multi-market or general, as opposed to the partial equilibrium of a single market." --Coppertwig 03:07, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

DONE. Since no one objected, I went ahead and made this edit.

Also, the link to the disambiguation page Equilibrium needs to be disambiguated. --Coppertwig 03:27, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge?

I wonder whether it would be a good idea to merge Static equilibrium (economics) and/or Competitive equilibrium with this page. --Coppertwig 19:23, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

I'd delete Static equilibrium (economics) (its a stub and is redundent with Supply and demand. Competitive equilibrium looks like it is a sketch for an exposition of general equilibrium. That should probably be merged, either here or a similar location. Joel Kincaid 22:32, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
