a. Tattoo artists are required to be licensed. Use a graph to show how a licensing requirement impacts the market for tattoo artists. Show the market equilibrium if there are no license requirements and also show the market equilibrium with license requirements. What happens to consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss when licenses are required?
b. Explain who wins and who loses from licensing regulation? Who pays for the licensing? Explain briefly.
c. Use a graph of the tattoo market to show this positive effect. Show the market equilibrium on your graph and explain how this market equilibrium compares to the market equilibrium in which this benefit is not taken into account.
e. Does licensing perform a better job of solving the asymmetric information problem than yelp or google reviews? i.e. does licensing provide a better signal of quality compared to other signals of quality such as online reviews? Explain why or why not.

Consider the market for outdoor porch swings. The following graph shows the supply and the demand curve of the good. Assume that the price of home and garden goods is regulated, and the price of outdoor swings cannot exceed Preg, also shown on the graph below. The letters A to K denote certain areas on the graph.
What area represents the consumer surplus (CS) in the absence of any regulation? What about producer surplus (PS)? What about total (economic) surplus (TS)? Is there a deadweight loss (DWL) if the price is not regulated? If yes, what area represents this DWL?
