Yes, a shortage can be caused by a price ceiling, which is a government-imposed limit on how high a price can be charged for a product. When the price is set below the market equilibrium, demand typically increases while supply decreases, leading to a situation where the quantity demanded exceeds the quantity supplied. This imbalance results in a shortage of the product in the market.

When is price ceiling non-binding?
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.

What is the impact of a price ceiling on the DWL (deadweight loss) in a market?

How does price ceilings affect supply and demand?
A price ceiling prevents a price from rising above the ceiling. It represents an upper limit on the price of something. If wheat has a price ceiling of $400 per metric tonne, $400 is the highest amount any what supplier can charge. If the market price for wheat is below the ceiling, say $200 in this example, then the ceiling has no effect on prices; the ceiling is not binding. If the market price is higher than the ceiling, supply and demand cannot reach equilibrium and there is a shortage in the commodity. Artificially low prices result in demand that exceeds supply. The price, however, remains stuck at the ceiling.
