(This slope is also known as the marginal rate of substitution.) The slope of the budget line is −p1 /p2 . Therefore an indifference curve is tangent to the budget line at the point (x1 , x2 ) when M U1 (x1 , x2 )/M U2 (x1 , x2 ) = p1 /p2 . This gives us one equation in the two unknowns, x1 and x2 . If we hope to solve for the x’s, we need another equation. That other equation is the budget equation p1 x1 + p2 x2 = m. With these two equations you can solve for (x1 , x2 ).∗ Example: A consumer has

switches between symmetric and asymmetric phases, generating predictions for firm size and costs across the business cycle. Surprisingly, increasing available capacity can cause a reduction in output and consumer surplus by resulting in such a switch. 1. Introduction Standard models of industrial organization treat inputs as being in perfectly elastic supply and their trade disconnected from the downstream market. However, in many real-world industries, the firms that compete downstream also face each

change of price of the commodity or price of other commodity or income of the consumer is called elasticity of demand. Elasticities greater than one are called "elastic," elasticities less than one are "inelastic", and elasticities equal to one are "unit elastic". Elasticities equal to infinity is called "perfectly elastic demand". Also elasticities equal to zero is called "perfectly inelastic demand". Demand elasticity is a measure of how much the quantity demanded will change if another factor

demand curve, (QD1 , P1 ) and (QD2 , P2 ) . We use the midpoint formula, so: QD2 − QD1 ⎛ QD2 ⎜ ⎜ PED = ⎝ P2 ⎛ P2 ⎜ ⎝ + QD1 ⎞ ⎟ ⎟ 2 ⎠ − P1 + P1 ⎞ ⎟ 2 ⎠ Once we have calculated the PED between two points on the demand curve, we can say if demand between those points is “elastic,” “inelastic” or “unit elastic”: • • • Demand is “elastic” at a certain point if PED < -1 Demand is “inelastic” at a certain point if 0 > PED > -1 Demand is “unit elastic” at a certain point if PED = -1 There are a number
