Chapter 3 adds the dimension of quantitative demand and supply analysis to that of
the qualitative analysis covered in Chapter 2. The chapter covers elasticity, functional forms
for demand and supply, and concludes with a brief overview of regression analysis.
Throughout Chapter 3 problems are used to help the students practice using the concepts of
own-price elasticity, income elasticity, and cross-price elasticity. The student is also exposed
to demand and supply functions that are non-linear, which should help them work with other
commonly used functional forms of demand and supply. |
