And suppose there is an increase in the demand for hats. (a) How would an increase in demand affect the demand curve and supply curve for hats; and how would it change the equilibrium price and quantity of hats sold? (b) The Core Economics text observes that "price-taking is no longer a “Nash equilibrium". What is a “Nash equilibrium"? And why is price-taking no longer one?

If instead, the scenario meets one of the criteria above, indicating there is a shift. If one of the curves shifts, state why and the direction it shifts (left or right). You should then state the effect on price (increase or decrease)..⦁ You are a wheat farmer. Locusts attack your wheat. ⦁ Price of gasoline goes up. You own a gas station. ⦁ The price of corn goes up.
