Question: Review the role of demand elasticity in a supply shock.
a. Draw a graph of the supply and demand for one good. Label the supply curve S1 and the demand curve D1. Label the axes and the initial equilibrium.
b. Draw a second demand curve that shows the consumer with a less elastic demand curve, that has the same equilibrium as S1 and D1. Label it D2.
c. Assume a supply shock, such as favorable weather, that increases the supply of a good. Draw the new supply curve, labeled S2, and label the two new equilibrium along D1 and D2
d. In a paragraph,
(1) explain the difference between the two market equilibrium and
(2) identify the elasticity parameters in a CGE model that can cause D2 to be more elastic than D1.
