Tarjonnalle

Tarjonnalle is the allative form of the Finnish noun tarjonta, which in economics refers to the supply or availability of goods and services in a market. Tarjonta describes the quantity that producers are willing to offer for sale at various prices during a specific time period. Tarjonnalle is used in sentences where the supply is the recipient or target of an action, such as “rajoitukset tarjonnalle” (restrictions on the supply) or “tukia tarjonnalle” (subsidies for the supply).

In economic terms, tarjonta is influenced by factors beyond price, including production costs, technology, expectations about future conditions, taxes and subsidies, the number of sellers, and prices of alternative outputs. The relationship between price and quantity supplied is typically represented by a supply curve that slopes upward, reflecting that higher prices incentivize producers to supply more. A movement along the supply curve occurs when price changes; a shift of the curve happens when non-price factors alter overall production capacity or incentives.
