A price signal is information conveyed to consumers and producers, via the price charged for a product or service, which provides a signal to increase or decrease quantity supplied or quantity demanded. The information carried by prices is an essential function in the fundamental coordination of an economic system, coordinating things such as what has to be produced, how to produce it and what resources use in its production.
