A surge in bread prices causes the government to worry that many poor individuals will no longer be able to afford a basic meal. To combat the surge, the government decides to set an effective (or binding) price ceiling. Draw the market for bread below with the equilibrium price, price ceiling, and label the surplus or shortage. (Make sure to label each axis on the graph!) List three possible unintended side effects of this policy. Be specific.
Can you confirm please? and, would the price floor cause inefficiency in the market?
What can cause a price ceiling to become nonbinding?
