Using Exogenous Shocks to Analyze Equilibrium Changes
The analytical process for studying the impact of an exogenous shock involves three main steps. First, an economic model is specified to find an initial equilibrium. Second, the model is subjected to a shock, representing an external change. Finally, the analysis focuses on how the equilibrium changes in response to this shock.

An economic analyst is examining the market for solar panels. They begin by establishing the current equilibrium price and quantity. Next, they account for a recent technological breakthrough that significantly lowers the cost of producing solar panels. Finally, they conclude that this change will cause the demand curve for solar panels to shift to the right, resulting in a higher equilibrium price and a higher quantity sold. Which statement best identifies the flaw in the analyst's three-step process?
