To ascertain:The necessity of general equilibrium analysis if there is an alteration in prices of goods by using mentioned diagram.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
Using the general equilibrium analysis will express more than the simple
Explanation of Solution
The rise in
The diagram is given below:
Excess demand has been shown by the difference between X’1, and X1. This excess demand willput upward pressure on the price of good X. If it would have been partial equilibrium analysis,this would have sufficed. However, in general, equilibrium analysis, along with excess demand forgood X, there will also be an
The excess supply is shown by thedifference between Y, and Y'1. This excess supply will put downward pressure on the price of goodY. The combined effect of this can be traced by clockwise rotation of the budget constraint. Thenew budget constraint C*C* is steeper than the old budget constraint CC. The steepness ofthe budget constraint C*C* indicates that price of good X has increased and price of good Yhas fallen.Hence, the new equilibrium is designated by point E which is arrived at by the interaction ofthe purchasers and the suppliers in the general equilibrium set up.
The new equilibrium, E, is theefficiency point where society's welfare is increased if
But, in an integrated market set upwhich reflects more real world this will not suffice. The necessity is to apply general equilibriumanalysis to check changes in demand tocalculate efficient outcomes that increasethe welfare of society.
Introduction: General equilibrium analysis is referring to the equilibrium of complete organisation in the economy purchaser, manufacture, resource owner, services and industries.General equilibrium succeeds when both good and factor markets are in equilibrium in relation to each other.
