The price ceiling is binding if set below the equilibrium price, leading to a shortage. 价格上限如何影响市场结果 当政府实行价格上限时，可能出现两种价格： ? 如果价格上限高于均衡 价格，价格上限没有限制作用。 ?如果价格上限低于均衡 价格，价格上限对市场有限制作用。 A Price Ceiling That Is Not Binding... 没有限制作用的价格上限... A Price Ceiling That Is Binding... 有限制作用的价格上限... How Price Ceilings Affect Market Outcomes Effects of Price Ceilings A binding price ceiling creates ... shortages because QD QS.
