Definition of Supply-Side Equilibrium in the WS-PS Model

The supply-side equilibrium is the state where the markets involved in producing output, particularly the labor market, are in equilibrium. In the WS-PS model, this occurs at the intersection of the wage-setting and price-setting curves, representing the model's Nash equilibrium where the wage-setting real wage equals the price-setting real wage. This point signifies a stable state where wage and price setters are satisfied, as firms have maximized profits and hired a sufficient number of motivated workers. Consequently, there is no incentive to change wages or prices, leading to zero wage and price inflation.
