The AIDS model gives an arbitrary second-order approximation to any demand system and has many desirable qualities of demand systems.

The cobweb model is generally based on a time lag between supply and demand decisions. Agricultural markets are a context where the cobweb model might apply, since there is a lag between planting and harvesting (Kaldor, 1934, p. 133–134 gives two agricultural examples: rubber and corn).
