Abstract

Economic general equilibrium results when the forces of supply and demand bring market participants into agreement as to the prices at which good should sell, and the quantities that should be sold. While it has been shown mathematically, that such exchange prices and quantities can be simultaneously determined for all goods in an economy, a mechanism that describes how such equilibria are achieved in practice has never been proposed. This paper demonstrates that such equilibria result naturally from the dynamic interaction of market participants. The dynamic interaction modeled in this paper can be used to study the interaction of demographic groups, which drives the evolution of a community. This model should also be useful in studying the effects of public policy and other external factors on markets.
