Reservation Price and Reservation Demand

Ian Steedman · The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics · 1987

The simplest example of a reservation price is that price below which an owner will refuse to sell a particular object in an auction. Since the owner could always, in principle, enforce such a price by outbidding everyone else, this leads immediately to the more general concept of a reservation price as that price at which the owner of a fixed stock will choose to retain some given amount from that stock, rather than supply more, and of the amount retained as the owner’s ‘reservation demand’ at the price in question. Considering alternative hypothetical prices, one sees that the owner’s supply curve of the commodity can equally well be described as an ‘own (reservation) demand’ curve, where ‘supply’ and ‘own demand’ sum identically to the given stock. The same is naturally true of the market supply curve. Thus consider the standard example of the determination of the price of first-edition copies of a certain old book. A demand curve may be drawn up for those who at present own no copies. Taking account of each present owner’s reservation price (or prices for those who possess more than one copy), we may also draw up a supply curve. (Of course ‘supply’ by present owners may be negative at low prices). Confrontation of the demand and supply curves will then show the market-clearing price. Equally, however, we could have drawn up the ‘reservation demand’ curve of present owners, summed it with the demand curve of non-owners and then confronted the ‘total’ demand curve with the given stock. Since ‘supply’ and ‘reservation demand’ sum identically to total stock, at every price, the alternative diagram inevitably shows the same market-clearing price as does the first; it does not show the number of books traded, however.

Water harvesting is an ancient tech nique of water supply which consists of collecting precipitation from a pre pared surface and storing it for later use. While this concept has been used for manyyears to provide animal and domestic drinking supplies at various places in the United States and elsewhere in the world, it is not considered a universal low-cost water supply technique. Research efforts during the past 30 years have been directed toward the development of lower-cost, durable materials for use on water-harvesting systems. In the early 1960's several water harvesting catchments were installed on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation in central Arizona to provide drinking water for livestock and wildlife. These
