20. Shifting Demand and Supply Curves Suppose that an increase in the demand for a particular good arises. What happens to equilibrium? Demand increases shifting the demand curve up, out, and to the right. At the original equilibrium price, excess demand exists in the market. Buyers will drive up the price to outbid other buyers for this shortage. As the price rises, quantity supplied rises. The price and quantity will continue to rise until equilibrium is reached. In a free market, the equilibrium price will adjust rather quickly.
