AGGREGATE MARKET EQUILIBRIUM: The state of equilibrium that exists in the aggregate market when real aggregate expenditures are equal to real production with no imbalances to induce changes in the price level or real production. In other words, the opposing forces of aggregate demand (the buyers) and aggregate supply (the sellers) exactly offset each other. The four macroeconomic sector (household, business, government, and foreign) buyers purchase all of the real production that they seek at the existing price level and business-sector producers sell all of the real production that they have at the existing price level. The aggregate market equilibrium actually comes in two forms: (1) long-run equilibrium, in which all three aggregated markets (product, financial, and resource) are in equilibrium and (2) short-run equilibrium, in which the product and financial markets are in equilibrium, but the resource markets are not.

                           ECONOMIC ANALYSIS: The process of investigating economic phenomena in a systematic manner. In one sense, this is the heart and soul of the economic discipline. While economists spend an ample time identifying economic concepts, the end result of this discovery process is usually aimed at combining these concepts in such a way as to evaluate or analyze alternative consequences. For example, economists seek to understand the notions of demand and supply. But this is not the end result of their analytical quest. They are more interested in analyzing how a change in buyers' income, as a demand determinant, affects the demand for a good like gasoline and subsequently its price. Or how technological improvements, as a supply determinant, affects the supply of a good like computers and subsequently the quantity sold.One important aspect of economic analysis is that it is typically performed "at the margin," meaning that economists are usually more concerned with small, incremental changes than with overall totals. For example, economists are more interested in how many additional computers are sold because of the technological advance than in the total sales of computers. The reason for this "marginal" obsession is that consumers, producers, and other economic decision-makers usually make choices "at the margin." Consumers decide whether or not to buy another hot fudge sundae today (having eaten dozens this year). They do not decide in January how many to purchase for the entire year. They decide each hot fudge sundae purchase one at a time. And so it goes for many economic decisions.
