Using the supply-demand framework, answer the following question: what should be the effect on the equilibrium price and quantity of marijuana once its sale and consumption became legalized?
Currently the sale of marijuana is illegal so its supply is highly inelastic as it is sold only through smuggling. This implies that currently its price is higher and quantity is lower at the equilibrium.
When its sale is legalized, it will be supplied by many sellers so supply will increase. Shift in the supply curve to the right will reduce its equilibrium price and increases its quantity sold (higher consumption). Demand will not change because demand does not depend on whether it is legal or illegal. Consumers of marijuana still consumes by paying a higher price. However, the quantity demanded will rise when price falls.
Thus, once legalized, sale of marijuana is increased. Price falls and consumption rises.

In this question, you should analyze the effect of price control to keep low inflation rate in the AD-AS framework. For simplicity, assume that the economy is in a full employment equilibrium initially. The government controls prices in stores to avoid inflation. Namely, they do not allow the changes in prices in stores. What would happen to output and the price level when the central bank increases money supply? Explain using the AD-AS diagram. What would happen to output and...
This question will deal with demand, supply, equilibrium and comparative statics in a specific market: the market for pork. We will use specific equations for Demand and Supply of pork which come from an academic paper: “Production Subsidy and Countervailing Duties in Vertically Related Markets: The Hog-Pork Case Between Canada and the United States” written by Giancarlo Moschini and Karl D. Meilke which appeared in American Journal of Agricultural Economics, Vol. 74, No. 4 (Nov., 1992), pp.951-961. The authors estimated...
