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

    <p>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, <i>D</i><sub><i>In</i></sub>, and elastic, <i>D</i><sub><i>El</i></sub>, demand curve determine the responsiveness of consumers to new equilibrium market price, <i>P</i><sup><i>1</i></sup>. A more inelastic demand curve, <i>D</i><sub><i>In</i></sub>, (i.e. the demand curve is steeper in shape) reflects a larger loss in economic welfare, represented by shaded area, relative to a relatively more elastic demand curve, <i>D</i><sub><i>Eln</i></sub>, represented by area.</p

    Net economic surplus for stakeholder groups (infected producers, uninfected producers, consumers) and Scotland in a year following the introduction of Johne’s, per cow and household under alternative Johne’s disease national herd prevalence scenarios (i.e. 7.5%, 17.5% and 27.5%) in pounds [euros<sup>a</sup>].
