- Some have argued that higher cigarette prices do not deter smoking. While there are many arguments both for and against this view, some find the following argument to be the most persuasive of all: “The laws of supply and demand indicate that higher prices are ineffective in reducing smoking. In particular, higher cigarette prices will reduce the demand for cigarettes. This reduction in demand will push the equilibrium price back down to its original level. Since the equilibrium price will remain unchanged, smokers will consume the same number of cigarettes.” Do you agree or disagree with this view?

Disagree - the reduction in demand will push the equilibrium price below its original level. Disagree - this confuses a change in demand with a change in quantity demanded. Agree - the price increase will ultimately leave cigarette consumption unchanged. Disagree - higher cigarette prices will actually increase the demand for cigarettes.arrow_forwardSome have argued that higher cigarette prices do not deter smoking.

- Explain why price moves towards equilibrium in a free market and why the equilibrium price may change over time.arrow_forwardtrue or false - explain in short be supported with an economic model. If the demand for and supply of a product both increases, the equilibrium quantity of the product must also increase. If the demand for a product decreases and the supply of the product increases, the equilibrium price of the product may increase or decrease, depending on whether supply or demand has shifted more. Assume that there is a fixed supply in the market. A higher price will result from a change in demand brought about by a rise in income.arrow_forwardIs it true that all buyers and sellers are content with the market price if a market is in equilibrium?
