Study Notes

General Equilibrium Theory

  • Attempts to explain the behavior of supply, demand, and prices in a whole economy with several or many interacting markets
  • Seeks to prove that the interaction of demand and supply will result in an overall general equilibrium

Contrast with Partial Equilibrium Theory

  • General equilibrium theory contrasts with partial equilibrium theory, which analyzes a specific part of an economy
  • In partial equilibrium theory, other factors are held constant, whereas in general equilibrium theory, constant influences are considered noneconomic

Noneconomic Influences

  • Constant influences are considered to be noneconomic, or beyond the scope of economic analysis
  • Noneconomic influences may change given changes in economic factors
  • Prediction accuracy of an equilibrium model may depend on the independence of economic factors from noneconomic ones

General Equilibrium Model

  • Studies economies using the model of equilibrium pricing
  • Seeks to determine in which circumstances the assumptions of general equilibrium will hold

Test your knowledge of general equilibrium theory in economics, which seeks to explain the behavior of supply, demand, and prices in a whole economy with several interacting markets. Contrast it with the theory of partial equilibrium and understand the constant influences considered in general equilibrium.
