Talk:Market clearing

Inappropriate article picture

Showing an empty store to illustrate the idea of market clearance is misleading. The intuitive interpretation of the phenomenon of empty store shelves, is a supply shortage. A casual reader might infer that market clearance implies a breakdown of supply, rather than the healthy balance of supply and demand at an equilibrium, which is how the term is used and understood. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.238.58.161 (talk) 17:46, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

This is a stylized depiction of "market clearing" just as most economic theory uses a stylized, single period version of market clearing. The caption qualifies that this is an unusual situation in retail. And no, market clearing does not mean a "healthy balance of supply and demand," it means the sale of all supply. It doesn't imply that demand is satiated.--Bkwillwm (talk) 03:38, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

I agree, that picture was too misleading. I removed it. -- Beland (talk) 19:43, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

I would suggest removing the picture altogether, or replacing it with some king of a graph. Comparison between clearance and clearing is very artificial. Викидим (talk) 16:39, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

Market Clearing

What are the factors which can resist the market or delay to clear...? Mastaanathunt (talk) 17:41, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

Markets can stop working for lots of reasons. The fundamental one is non-convexities that violate the basic premises of achieving an equilibrium. Викидим (talk) 16:42, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
