What is the difference between 'scarcity' and 'shortage'? 

'Scarcity' and 'shortage' have dissimilar definitions. In reality, when most of the goods and resources are scarce goods, we called this phenomenon 'scarcity'. On the other hand, 'shortage' is explained as the situation where the quantity demanded is greater than the quantity supplied because the market price is lower than the equilibrium price.
