Fig 2. Impact of an inelastic and elastic demand curve on equilibrium market price and quantity.

Fig 2

The impact of an inelastic and elastic demand curve on equilibrium market price and quantity associated with a reduction in milk production following an outbreak of Johne’s disease. The inelastic, DIn, and elastic, DEl, demand curve determine the responsiveness of consumers to new equilibrium market price, P1. A more inelastic demand curve, DIn, (i.e. the demand curve is steeper in shape) reflects a larger loss in economic welfare relative to a relatively more elastic demand curve, DEl.

Fig 6. Sensitivity of net economic surplus to national herd prevalence by stakeholder group.

Fig 6

The sensitivity of net economic surplus (million £) to national herd prevalence by stakeholder group (i.e. uninfected producers, infected producers, consumers, and Scotland) following an outbreak of Johne’s with respect to a constant price elasticity of demand, η, (-0.2198), and price elasticity of supply, ε, (1.759).

Fig 3. Impact of an inelastic and elastic supply curve on equilibrium market price and quantity.

Fig 3

The impact of an inelastic and elastic supply curve on equilibrium market price and quantity associated with a reduction in milk production following an outbreak of Johne’s disease. The inelastic, SIn, and elastic, SEl, supply curves determine the responsiveness of producers to new equilibrium market price, P1. A more inelastic supply curve, SIn, (i.e. the supply curve is steeper in shape) reflects a larger loss in economic welfare relative to a relative more elastic supply, SEl.

Fig 4. Sensitivity of net economic surplus for Scotland to price elasticity of demand and supply.

Fig 4

The sensitivity of aggregated net economic surplus (million £) for Scotland following an outbreak of Johne’s with respect to variation in the price elasticity of demand, η, (-0.50 to 0.00), and price elasticity of supply, ε, (i.e. 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0).

Fig 5. Sensitivity of net economic surplus to the price elasticity of demand by stakeholder group.

Fig 5

The sensitivity of net economic surplus (million £) to price elasticity of demand by stakeholder group (i.e. uninfected producers, infected producers, consumers, and Scotland) following an outbreak of Johne’s with respect to a constant price elasticity of supply, ε, (1.759), and a variation in the price elasticity of demand, η, (i.e. -0.45 to 0.00).
