Economics Indicate whether the following statement are true, false, or uncertain, and most importantly defend your answer with an argument that identifies the economic and policy issues that are relevant to that statement. Each question is worth 1. While classical economists would have asserted that the equilibrium price of bananas was determined by the price of the land on which it was grown, the fertilizers, the labour, and all of the other factors of production, the marginalises decided that it is the fertilisers, labour, and land whose price is determined by the price of bananas.

Suppose that both groups of students are on the right track, and each of the events described above arepartially responsible for the decrease in the price of pizzas. Based on your analysis of the explanationsoffered by the two groups of students, how would you determine which of the possible causes was thedominant cause of the decrease in the price of pizza? 1. Whichever change occured first must have beenthe primary cause of the change in the price of pizzas 2. If the equilibrium quantity of pizzas increases,then the demand shift in the market for pizzas must have been larger than the supply shift. 3. if theequilibrium quantity of pizzas increase, then the supply shift in the market for pizzas must have beenlarger than the demand shift. 4. If the price decrease was large, then the supply shift in the martket forpizzas must have been larger than the demand shift

A researcher gave sports-card traders a sports card in exchange for their participation in thestudy. There were two possible cards, A and B. Each participant randomly received one ofthe two cards, and was then asked whether she would like to exchange it for the other card.a) By neoclassical (traditional economics) logic, approximately what percentage ofparticipants should exchange? Why? (Hint, the reason does not depend on whetherthe two cards are of equal value.)b) Among inexperienced traders, 6.8% make the exchange. Explain this phenomenon using prospect theory.c) Among experienced traders, 46.7% make the exchange. Why might experiencedtraders behave differently from inexperienced ones?
On a microeconomic demand curve, a decrease in price causes an increase in quantity demanded because the product in question is now relatively less expensive thansubstituteproducts.Explainwhyaggregatedemand does not increase for the same reason in response to a decrease in the aggregate price level.

Please please help me asnswer it correctly and fastly The global oil market has been affected in the recent years by many factors that induces the global price to fall. This consequence is vital for the budget of the oil dependent countries. After the huge decrease on oil price in 2016, many traders and analysts believe that oil markets are still not immune to many problems and the oil price will tend to fall again. The main factor and problems toward a fall of the oil price started in 2015 but considering that people and oil companies do not tend to react immediately to the change of oil price, the total consumption and production of oil did not get any surprised changes in the short- run. The main factor that caused the drop on the oil price is the OPEC failure. The member countries of OPEC did not agree to stabilize the oil markets, since the organization decided against cutting production at a 2014 meeting in Vienna. It is estimated that if OPEC does not cut production, the…

Macroeconomics: What effect will each of the following have on the demand for small automobiles such as the Honda Civic or Ford Focus? A supply schedule or curve shows that, other thingsequal, the quantity of a good supplied varies directlywith its price. The supply curve shifts because of changes in (a) resource prices (b) technology (c) taxes or subsidies (d) prices of other goods (e) expectations of futureprices (f) the number of suppliers A change in supply is a shift of the supply curve; achange in quantity supplied is a movement from onepoint to another on a fixed supply curve. Questions: Small automobiles become more fashionable. The price of large automobiles rises (with the price of small autos remaining the same). Income declines and small autos are an inferior good. Consumers anticipate that the price of small autos will greatly come down in the near future. The price of gasoline substantially drops.
