The value of the economist’s language lies in its ability to provide you with a new and useful way of thinking about the world in which you live.
Supply, demand, elasticity, comparative advantage, consumer surplus, and deadweight loss are all terms that are part of the economist’s language.
Economics has its own language and its own way of thinking, but few other fields of study do.
Economists use some familiar words in specialized ways.
In the labor market, workers would like to receive higher wages and firms would like to pay lower wages.
Suppose that workers succeed in having a minimum wage established above the equilibrium wage. What will happen to the number of workers employed when compared to the original equilibrium? Explain
Suppose that firms succeed in having a maximum wage establish below the equilibrium wage. What will happen to the number of workers employed compared to the original equilibrium? Explain.

- Housing policy analysts debate the best way to increase the number of housing units available to low-income households. One strategy-the demand-side strategy is to provide people with housing vouchers, paid for by the government, which can be used to rent housing supplied by the private market. Another-a supply-side strategy-is to have the government subsidize housing suppliers or to build public housing. Using the line drawing tool, draw a single line to show the effect of a supply-side strategy. Properly label your line. Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required object.

- Prices are the driving force behind every buying and selling decision in a market economy. Prices are determined by the supply and demand equilibrium and are influenced by the price elasticity of demand and supply of goods and services.

Then, you will share your experiences playing that game.arrow_forwardDescription Does raising the minimum wage reduce employment, that is, does it increase job loss?

OPEC Says the World’s Richest Countries Are Already There." The article comes with a short video entitled "How energy got so cheap" which can be viewed here. (Links to an external site.) (Though the article is behind a pay wall.) Interestingly, the term "peak oil" was originally coined by Colin J. Campbell who wrote a paper in 1998 along with Jean H. Laherrère titled "The End of Cheap Oil" in which they predicted that oil production would peak around 2004-5. Let us define "peak oil" as a point in time where the quantity of oil extracted and consumed (let's just assume these are the same) reaches a maximum and then starts to decline. Based on economic theory, (in other words, I'm not asking you to predict anything specific about the oil market in the real world, just a general theory question) should we expect this period of declining production to be accompanied by high and rising prices or by low/falling…arrow_forward
