EXCEPTIONS TO THE LAW OF SUPPLY
- Expectations about future changes in prices:-
- If the sellers anticipate that the price of a particular commodity is going to fall in future, then in order to avoid future losses they would try to sell as much as possible even the prices are falling. Means decrease in price does not lead to decrease in supply.
- If the seller expects the prices are going to rise in future, then to take advantage of future price rise, they would restrict their sates even if the prices are rising
- Rare articles:-
- The law of supply does not apply in case of rare article coins, stamps, historical documents, autographs of historical leaders etc.
- The supply of rare articles is fixed so even if the prices are increasing, the supply of such articles will not increase.
- Commodities whose supply is fixed in short run (Period):-
- There are certain a commodity whose supply is fixed is short is short run. Their supply cannot be increased or decreases in short run.
- Examples: Vegetables, fruits, milk, flowers etc.
- Even through increase or decrease in price of such commodities will not having much effect on supply of such commodities.
- Supply of labor:-
- Law of supply does not apply to the factor of production like labor.
- Increase in the price of labor means wage rates results is increases in supply of labor because workers will work for more hours to get extra money. But after a certain point they would prefer leisure so, increase in price of labor leads to increase in supply of labor up to certain point. Beyond which the supply of labor does not increase.
