Tarjontapuolella

Tarjontapuolella is a Finnish term that translates to "on the supply side" in English. It refers to the aspect of economics that deals with the production and supply of goods and services. This includes factors such as the cost of production, the availability of resources, technological advancements, and the pricing strategies of businesses.

In microeconomics, Tarjontapuolella focuses on how individual firms decide how much to produce and sell at various prices. It examines the relationship between the price of a good and the quantity supplied by producers, often represented by the supply curve. This curve typically slopes upward, indicating that producers are willing to supply more of a good when its price is higher, as it becomes more profitable.

Macroeconomically, Tarjontapuolella relates to the aggregate supply of goods and services in an entire economy. It considers the factors that influence the total output an economy can produce, such as the labor force, capital stock, and technological efficiency. Policies aimed at increasing aggregate supply, such as tax cuts for businesses or investments in infrastructure, are considered "supply-side policies." These policies aim to stimulate economic growth by making it easier and more profitable for businesses to produce and invest. The concept is contrasted with "kysyntäpuolella," which refers to the demand side of the economy.
