What is General Equilibrium Theory
In economics, the general equilibrium theory seeks to explain the behavior of supply, demand, and prices in a whole economy that contains several or many markets that interact with one another. This is accomplished by attempting to demonstrate that the interaction of demand and supply will result in an overall general equilibrium. The theory of general equilibrium stands in contrast to the theory of partial equilibrium, which performs an analysis of a particular component of an economy while maintaining the status quo for all other aspects of the economy. Constant influences are deemed to be noneconomic, or, to put it another way, thought to be beyond the scope of economic study, when the economy is described as being in general equilibrium. The noneconomic impacts, on the other hand, are subject to change in response to changes in the economic factors; hence, the accuracy of the forecast made by an equilibrium model may be contingent on the independence of the economic components from the noneconomic ones.
