13.3 The following equations describe a simple "cobweb" model of a competitive market: Demand: Supply: Q = b + bP-1 d <0 When the market is in equilibrium, Q-Q. Now suppose that the market is temporarily out of equilibrium, ie., that QQ temporarily.
(a) Show that the price will converge stably to an equilibrium value if byla <1.
