In general, for the elasticity of “Y” with respect to “X”:
Y,X= (% Y) = (Y/Y) = dY . X (% X) (X/X) dX Y

1. Use Own Price Elasticities and Equilibrium Price and Quantity
2. Use Information on Past Shifts of Demand and Supply

1. Choose a general shape for functions Linear Constant elasticity
2. Estimate parameters of demand and supply using elasticity and equilibrium information We need information on ε, P* and Q*

Example: Linear Demand Curve
• Suppose demand is linear: QD = a – bP• Then, elasticity is Q,P = -bP/Q
• Suppose P = 0.7 Q = 70 Q,P = -0.55
• Notice that, if = -bP/Q b = -Q/P
• Then b = -(-0.55)(70)/(0.7) = 55• …and a = QD + bP = (70)+(55)(0.7) = 108.5
• Hence QD = 108.5 – 55P
![Page 11: Lecture # 04a Demand and Supply (end) Lecturer: Martin Paredes.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103122/56649f515503460f94c7412b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Example: Constant Elasticity Demand Curve
• Suppose demand is: QD = APε
• Suppose again P = 0.7 Q = 70 Q,P = -0.55
• Notice that, if QD = APε A = QP-ε
• Then A = (70)(0.7)0.55 = 57.53
• Hence QD = 57.53P-0.55

1. A shift in the supply curve reveals the slope of the demand curve
2. A shift in the demand curve reveals the slope of the supply curve.

Example: Shift in Supply Curve
• Old equilibrium point: (P1,Q1)• New equilibrium point: (P2,Q2)
• Both equilibrium points would lie on the same (linear) demand curve.
• Therefore, if QD = a - bP
• b = dQ/dp = (Q2 – Q1)/(P2 – P1)• a = Q1 - bP1

This technique only works if the curve we want to estimate stays constant.
Example: Shift in Supply Curve
• We require that the demand curve does not shift

1. Example of a simple micro model of supply and demand (two equations and an equilibrium condition)
2. Elasticity as a way of characterizing demand and supply
3. Factors that determined elasticity
4. Estimating demand and supply a. From own price elasticity and equilibrium price
and quantityb. From information on past shifts, assuming that
only a single curve shifts at a time.
