drought and too much rain. Those factors would cause the supply of the coffee bean to decrease significantly, which would lead to the increase in price for coffee. Before this change in supply, the demand and supply were at a market equilibrium where the demand meets supply at the equilibrium point and the market is in a state of balance. However, extreme weathers are non-price determinate that decreases the supply, thus causing the supply curve shift to the left from S to S1 and create a new…

of dynamic price competition under imperfect monitoring, i.e. firms encounter the problem of detecting and deterring deviation from the agreement. Firms can only observe the market price, but do not know the actual production level of another firm. Unexpected fall in prices may account for deviation from the colussive output or bad demand shock. So firms can deter deviation only by threatening to set Cournout quantities, which are above monopoly quantities, during a period of a price below…

optimum and eliminate market failure in China. Welfare loss in China will be eliminated if MPC + Tax is equal to negative externality of consumption.

work, we will see if this subsidy should or not be applied. In this market there is a market failure (when a market doesn't work well, leading to misallocation of resources), created by an externality (a cost on third parties not accounted on the price definition of a good or service1 ).

We consider…

Vietnam 2013-2014). That result means Samsung market share reduce 13% in just one year while other smart phone brand just slightly changes. This showed us that Samsung’s demand is elastic.

If the government set a price of $2.00 a slice, how many slices of pizza will be sold each day, according to Figure 6.2? a. none c. 200 b. 150 d. 250 ____ 19. A new office building has opened and the demand for pizza has increased. The new demand curve states that consumers will buy 200 slices at $2.50 each and 300 slices at $1.50 each. Based on Figure 6.2, if the slope of the curve has not changed, what is the new equilibrium price and quantity supplied? a. $1.00, 300 slices…
