Case Study

Analyzing Market Dynamics from a Disequilibrium Price

Consider a market represented by a two-panel diagram. The left panel shows standard, downward-sloping demand and upward-sloping supply curves, which intersect to establish a stable equilibrium price, P*. The right panel plots the current price (Pt) on the horizontal axis against the next period's price (Pt+1) on the vertical axis, and includes a 45-degree line where Pt = Pt+1.

Analyze the state of this market if the current price, Pt, is set at a level significantly above the equilibrium price P*. What condition exists in the market at this price, and what is the expected change in price for the next period?
