Exercise 24
Why are there two supply curves in Figure (a)? How does this illustrate "feedback" effects? Why would a partial equilibrium analysis of the effect of an increase in demand for tomatoes from D to D' give the wrong answer? Why are there two supply curves in Figure (a)? How does this illustrate feedback effects? Why would a partial equilibrium analysis of the effect of an increase in demand for tomatoes from D to D' give the wrong answer?    Initially, the market for tomatoes is in equilibrium (at P1), as are the markets for tomato pickers, cucumbers, and cucumber pickers. An increase in demand for tomatoes disturbs these equilibria. Virtually all the supply and demand curves shift in the process of establishing a new general equilibrium.
