  Supply and demand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The theory of supply and demand is important for some economic schools' understanding of a market economy in that it is an explanation of the mechanism by which many resource allocation decisions are made.
Graphically the situation can be represented by two curves: one showing the price-quantity combinations buyers will pay for, or the demand curve; and one showing the combinations sellers will sell for, or the supply curve.
Even with downward-sloping demand curves, it is possible that an increase in income may lead to a decrease in demand for a particular good, probably due to the existence of more attractive alternatives which become affordable: a good with this property is known as an inferior good.

 Aggregate supply -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Sometimes the "Z curve" in the "Keynesian cross" diagram is referred to as "aggregate supply." This curve often represents the total amount of production that corresponds to the total amount of income in a country during a specific time period.
In words, the quantity of real GDP supplied depends on (is a function of) the quantity of labor employed, the quantity of capital, and the state of technology.
The short-run aggregate supply curve (SAS) is the relationship between the quantity of real GDP supplied and the price level in the short run when the money wage rate, the prices of other resources, and potential GDP remain constant.

 AllRefer.com - supply and demand (Economics: Terms And Concepts) - Encyclopedia
supply and demand, in classical economics, factors that are said to determine price, by correlating the amount of a given commodity producers hope to sell at a certain price (supply), and the amount of that commodity that consumers are willing to purchase (demand).
Supply refers to the varying amounts of a good that producers will supply at different prices; in general, a higher price yields a greater supply.
In a perfectly competitive economy, the combination of the upward-sloping supply curve and the downward-sloping demand curve yields a supply and demand schedule that, at the intersection of the two curves, reveals the equilibrium price of an item.

 The Supply Curve   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Because a higher price leads to higher profit, and a higher profit leads to a larger amount that sellers will want to sell, one expects that a greater quantity should be supplied when the price is higher.
An example is labor; as wages go up, people may decide to enjoy their higher wages and work less.
As a result, there is no law of supply that matches the law of demand.
