According to The Economist magazine, the two worst recessions of the 1970s were preceded by huge and sudden rises in the price of oil, first in 1973 and then in 1979. These twin spikes, both engineered by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries limiting its oil shipments, are still the textbook example of an economic "shock" - a sudden change in business conditions. Using an aggregate demand and aggregate supply model, show the impact of these oil shocks on...
This problem asks you to consider a company refining crude oil into gasoline. The company hires workers to process an input (crude oil) into an output (gasoline). You should assume both the (output) market for gasoline and the labor market for workers are perfectly competitive, and that the firm must pay the equilibrium wage set in the labor market and charge the equilibrium price for gas set in the market for gas. You may additionally assume the relevant labor market...
Directions: For each question, show what happens to Equilibrium price (P) and quantity (Q) using supply-demand analysis. Clearly state your conclusion (e.g., "equilibrium price increases, while equilibrium quantity decreases" using the short-hand " ^P and vQ"). Be sure to complete and correctly label your graphs. Question 5: Part A: An important ingredient/input in the production of gasoline is petroleum. Suppose there is a technological innovation - let's call it hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") - in the production of petroleum. Ceteris paribus,...

Explain what would happen to either the supply curve, the demand curve, the price of gasoline and the quantity of gasoline traded at equilibrium if the following scenarios occurred. Provide a simple sketch of the appropriate shift in the appropriate curve. If President Johnson (now “who is he?” hypothetically) relaxed the rules on “fracking” to extract oil from the ground, leading to higher efficiencies and lower costs in the production of oil, what would happen in the market for gasoline?

Chapter 23 In Class Exercise 1. Consider the following shocks and indicate if it is a positive or negative demand or supply shock. Indicate whether the shock leads to higher or lower output and higher or lower price in the short run. Draw an AD/AS diagram to support your conclusion. a. Taxes on income increase b. Government spending increases c. Oil prices rise d. The wage rate falls
ECO122( Discussion Board) Please use the concepts of determinants of demand and supply and complex cases (found in Chapter 3) to solve the following problem. Assume, over time, consumer incomes generally increase but also that technological advancements in oil extraction lead to lower prices of crude oil (the primary input for gasoline). If consumer incomes increase by significantly more than input prices fall, what happens to both the equilibrium price and quantity of gasoline? Remember the market is gasoline, not...
Oil prices rose more than 20% this year but there were no sharp spikes and crude futures barely sniffed $70 a barrel despite attacks on the world’s biggest oil producer, sanctions that crippled crude exports of two OPEC members and gigantic supply cuts from big oil producing countries. The price gains in crude oil benchmarks were all in the first quarter of 2019, even as the next several months featured supply shocks that in the past would probably have propelled...
