    Instructions: This exam consists of six questions. You have two hours to give a reasoned answer to all the
    exercises. Write the quiz entirely in ink. Calculators are not permitted.

    2 Suppose that in a given market with a single commodity the demand function is D(P ) = 4 P and the
    supply function is S(P ) = 2 + 2P , where P > 0 denotes the unitary price of the good. Assume that
    time is discrete and that the market follows the dynamics of the Cobweb Model, that is, S(Pt ) = D(Pt+1 )
    for every t. (15 points)
    (a) Obtain the expression of Pt when P0 = 4.
    (b) Calculate the equilibrium P .
    (c) Analyze the behavior of the price in the long run.

    6 Consider the di↵erential equation x0 = f (x). The following picture shows the trajectories of the solutions
    of such an equation. (10 points)
    (a) Identify the equilibria.
    (b) Study the stability of those equilibria.
    (c) Draw a sketch of the phase diagram that would correspond to this situation.
