Supply Shock - Technical Analysis

Technical Analysis

The diagram to the right demonstrates a negative supply shock; The initial position is at point A, producing Y1 quantity, at P1 prices. Then there is a supply shock, this has an adverse effect on aggregate supply, the supply curve shifts left (from AS1 to AS2), while the demand curve stays in the same position. The intersection of the supply and demand curves has now moved and the equilibrium is now point B, quantity has been reduced to Y2, while prices have been increased to P2.

Famous quotes containing the words technical and/or analysis:

    Where there is the necessary technical skill to move mountains, there is no need for the faith that moves mountains.
    Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    Cubism had been an analysis of the object and an attempt to put it before us in its totality; both as analysis and as synthesis, it was a criticism of appearance. Surrealism transmuted the object, and suddenly a canvas became an apparition: a new figuration, a real transfiguration.
    Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
