Question

Suppose you are asked to do a market analysis in an area in which a natural disaster has recently occurred. (An example might be Nashville after the spring floods or New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.)

Other than building supplies (which is too easy :), choose a market for a good or service that will be affected.

Will demand or supply be affected? (Even if it might be both, just choose one or the other to keep it simpler).

What happens to equilibrium prices and output in this market? Draw a supply and demand graph for your own use, and then explain the process in detail.

Choose a market that has not already been chosen by a classmate. Be creative and thoughtful!

Definition Video Definition Point where the demand and supply curves intersect. At the equilibrium price the quantity supplied of a good is equal to the quantity demanded. When the market is not in equilibrium, market surplus or market shortage occurs. The region that is above the price equilibrium indicates market surplus and the region below the price equilibrium indicates market shortage. Video
