Binding Versus Non-Binding price ceilingsA price ceiling can be set above or below the free-market equilibrium price. For a price ceiling to be effective, it must differ from the free market price. In the graph at right, the supply and demand curves intersect to determine the free-market quantity and price. The dashed line represents a price ceiling set above the free-market price, called a non-binding price ceiling. In this case, the ceiling has no practical effect. The government has mandated a maximum price, but the market price is established well below that.In contrast, the solid green line is a price ceiling set below the free market price, called a binding price ceiling. In this case, the price ceiling has a measurable impact on the market.
Consumers do not set a price ceiling on goods. Only the government can set a price ceiling. However, the consumer perception of a good's value does affect the equilibrium price and quantity demanded. This is the price that the good is sold at and how many of the good is demanded at that price.
