MARKET ANALYSIS: The use of the market model to examine economic phenomenon involving demand, supply, prices, and exchanges. The simplest market analysis involves identifying equilibrium price and quantity, which is the point of intersection between the demand and supply curves. Some of the more useful market analysis, however, involves comparative static analysis of shifts in either the demand or supply curves, or both curves simultaneously. Other market analysis examines the consequences of price ceilings, price floors, and taxes.

SUPPLY SHOCK: A disruption of market equilibrium (that is, a market adjustment) caused by a change in a supply determinant and a shift of the supply curve. A supply shock can take one of two forms--an supply increase or a supply decrease. An increase in supply is illustrated by a rightward shift of the supply curve and results in an increase in equilibrium quantity and a decrease in equilibrium price. A decrease in supply is illustrated by a leftward shift of the supply curve and results in a decrease in equilibrium quantity and an increase in equilibrium price.

LOSS MINIMIZATION RULE

A rule stating that a firm minimizes economic loss by producing output in the short run that equates marginal revenue and marginal cost if price is less than average total cost but greater than average variable cost. This is one of three short-run production alternatives facing a firm. The other two are profit maximization (if price exceeds average total cost) and shutdown (if price is less than average variable cost).
