Aggregate Demand and Supply
• The overall demand and supply is composed of the demand
of many individual consumers.
• While this may seem naïve, this assumption greatly simplifies the
analysis and can sometimes be appropriate, as in small sub-markets
that aren’t large enough to influence aggregate prices and quantities
• In practice, feedback almost always occurs but the effect may not be significant
enough to affect local results.
