Definition

Holding other determinants constant (ceteris paribus), the quantity supplied of a good tends to rise as its own price rises because higher prices increase the marginal incentive to produce or sell; formally, the supply curve is non‑decreasing in the good’s own price under standard producer optimization assumptions, subject to capacity and time‑frame qualifications.
