In the supply and demand marriage market explain the logic behind the downward
sloping demand curve. Draw the demand curve in the marriage market. Now assume that
prostitution becomes legal (and that some men view prostitution as an imperfect substitute
for marriage). On the same graph, draw the new demand curve and discuss how it changes.
(Assume the number of men in the marriage market did not change.)
In case of a new substitute for marriage is discovered,some of the men will shift their demand to prostitution and the demand for marriage would fall.
The demand curve shifts to left from D to D1.
In the supply and demand marriage market explain the logic behind the downward sloping demand curve....
Suppose there is a linear downward-sloping demand curve and a linear upward-sloping supply curve for some good. The price of a substitute good decreases and the price of an input to the production process also decreases. Both changes occur simultaneously. Graph the original demand and supply curves, and then graph new curves after the substitute good and input prices decrease. How will the equilibrium price and quantity change after the substitute and input prices decrease? Explain your answer in English...
in a market with an upward sloping supply curve and a downward sloping demand curve, when there is an excess supply, a. b. c. The actual price must be higher that the equilibrium price. The actual price must be lower that the equilibrium price. The quantity demanded is higher than the equilibrium quantity.
Consider a market free of government intervention and having a downward sloping demand curve and an upward sloping supply curve intersecting at some price P0. Write a short explanation of why any price higher than P0cannot be a free market equilibrium. Write a shortexplanation of why any price lower than P0cannot be a free market equilibrium. Now decrease supply a great deal and decrease demand until the curves no longer intersect (that is, the curves meet the vertical axis without...
1) Consider a normal market with a downward-sloping demand curve and an upward-sloping supply curve. Which of the following cases would definitely result in a decrease in consumer surplus? For each case, assume that the market is initially in equilibrium and that everything else is held constant except for the change described in the case Case 1: The supply curve shifts to the left. Case 2: The supp Case 3: The government imposes a binding price ceiling. Case 4: The...
Economists use the model of aggregate demand and aggregate supply to explain downward sloping Phillips curve. Elaborate using appropriate graph.
Why is the Phillips curve downward sloping? Use the model of aggregate demand and aggregate supply to explain with graph. (18marks)
The labor market is composed of a. a relatively homogeneous supply of labor and downward-sloping demand curve. b. a vertical supply curve for labor and relatively elastic market demand. c. many submarkets for labor of different types. d. more teenagers than any other age group of labor.
suppose that the market for product x is characterized by a typical, downward-sloping, linear demand curve and a typical , upward-sloping, linear supply curve. suppose the price of supply is 0.7. will the dead weight loss form a $3 tax per unit be smaller if the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand is 0.6 or if the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand is 1.5?
In the supply-demand diagram used to represent phenomenon such as cyclical unemployment, the demand (downward- sloping) curve represents_ O worker demand for labor O equilibrium points in the labor market O firm demand for labor
Name: 9. (10 Points) Consider the market for paper towels where the supply curve is upward sloping and the demand curve is downward slopine. (Hint: Draw the graphs to answer the questions below.) a. Suppose there is an effective price ceiling applied on this market. What happens to the Consumer surplus as a result? b. Suppose there is an effective price floor applied on this market. What happens to the consumer surplus as a result? be
