Suppose we observe that the equilibrium quantity of a good has increased significantly
in recent years, with little or no change in equilibrium price. The most likely explanation
is that supply and demand have both increased.

Two things occur simultaneously in the market for good A: 1. there is an increase in the
price of an important input in the production of good A and, 2. there is a decrease in the
price of a complement of good A. As a result, the equilibrium price of good A will either
increase, decrease, or stay the same, and the equilibrium quantity of good A will
increase.
