Tasapainomalleja, or equilibrium models, are conceptual frameworks used to understand and predict how systems will behave when they reach a stable state. These models are employed across various scientific disciplines, including economics, physics, biology, and chemistry, to analyze situations where opposing forces or influences are balanced. The core idea is that a system in equilibrium will remain in that state unless acted upon by an external change.

In economics, equilibrium models often describe the point where supply and demand are equal, determining the market price and quantity of goods or services. Changes in factors like consumer preferences or production costs can shift this equilibrium. In physics, equilibrium models can describe the state of an object at rest, where all forces acting on it cancel each other out, or a chemical reaction that has reached a point where the rates of forward and reverse reactions are equal. Biological equilibrium models might explain population dynamics where birth and death rates are balanced, or ecological systems where different species coexist without one dominating entirely. The key characteristic of these models is their focus on the stability and persistence of a particular state.
