In the next section we will discuss restrictions on parameters of both supply and demand function.
 
2
Expressing the household’s income annually immediately establishes the fact that quantity demanded is for one year period.

This is another nice trick to get rid of the aggregation problem altogether. The downside is, of course, an I-robot society!

In addition, for market equilibrium to be socially optimal, there should be no externalities.

9
As an analog of a household consumption function, \(C_0\) is sometimes interpreted as the subsistence level of consumption.
 
10
Some writers express (4.22) as \(C = a\,{+}\,b Y\) and treat the autonomous consumption as a parameter. Given the volatility of autonomous consumption, due to wealth and other non-income effects, it should not be considered a parameter. After all, based on the definition, a parameter changes very slowly and incrementally.
