Supply and Demand<br />

Where do the curves come from and what do they represent?<br />

• Demand<br />

• Supply<br />

− Aggregate reservation prices of the market. What consumers are willing to pay.<br />

− How much consumers will buy at a particular price<br />

− Linear Demand: Qd = a - b P<br />

− Isoelastic Demand: ln(Qd) = a - b ln(P)<br />

− Aggregate marginal cost curves of an industry<br />

− How much will producers provide at a particular price<br />

− Linear Supply: Qs = c + d P<br />

− Isoelastic Supply: ln(Qs) = c + d ln(P)<br />
