Income Distribution and Price Controls: Targeting a Social Safety
... Solving this problem yields lp*= 1/2, hp*=P'/2(twp+P'), and xp*=wp/2(twp+P'). At equilibrium, as in the free-market case, the total quantity demanded equals the total quantity supplied: vxp* + (1-v)xr* = Q = v⋅wp⋅hp*+(1-v)⋅wr⋅hr*. For a given per-unit wait time t, this condition establishes the equi ...

Supply and demand
In microeconomics, supply and demand is an economic model of price determination in a market. It concludes that in a competitive market, the unit price for a particular good, or other traded item such as labor or liquid financial assets, will vary until it settles at a point where the quantity demanded (at the current price) will equal the quantity supplied (at the current price), resulting in an economic equilibrium for price and quantity transacted.The four basic laws of supply and demand are: If demand increases (demand curve shifts to the right) and supply remains unchanged, a shortage occurs, leading to a higher equilibrium price. If demand decreases (demand curve shifts to the left) and supply remains unchanged, a surplus occurs, leading to a lower equilibrium price. If demand remains unchanged and supply increases (supply curve shifts to the right), a surplus occurs, leading to a lower equilibrium price. If demand remains unchanged and supply decreases (supply curve shifts to the left), a shortage occurs, leading to a higher equilibrium price.↑
