Lesson 23: Factor Market Equilibrium | Unit 1: Intro
|
Page: 3 of 24
|
- Let's review the notion of equilibrium.
- Equilibrium is the state that exists due to a balance between opposing forces, which remains unchanged until another force intervenes.
- Once achieved, equilibrium persists unless or until it is disrupted by an outside force.
- Equilibrium in the factor market works much the same, with the two opposing forces being:
- Factor Demand
- Factor Supply
- When these two opposing forces of factor demand and factor supply are in balance, we have factor market equilibrium.
- Should the factor market be out of equilibrium, then like any other market, it can experience a surplus or a shortage.
- A factor market surplus, especially in labor markets, is more commonly termed unemployment.
