Question 12 / 96:  In what sense did Christy's arrival "knock out" some of the possible equilibrium prices that could have formed between Alice and Billy?
Answer: 

All we mean is that Christy would be willing to make

counteroffers to prevent some of the original equilibrium

trading outcomes from occurring. Intuitively, Alice wouldn't

sell Snickers at such low prices to Billy once Christy enters

the scene with her stockpile of Milky Ways and her tendency

to prefer Snickers.
