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 prices? Give a brief explanation using graphs where appropriate.
According to the "4-Quadrant Model" (4QM), which of the following statement is correct?
O If there is a positive demand shock in the space market, the housing rent is going to increase in the short run,
and will be lower than the current rent in the long run.
If there is a positive demand shock in the space market, the housing price is going to decrease in the short run,
and increase in the long run.
If there is a positive demand shock in the asset market, the housing rent is going to decrease in the long run.
O If there is a positive demand shock in the asset market, the housing price is going to decrease in the short run,
and will be lower than the current price in the long run.

Suppose also that the supplies of both are fixed in the short run (Q = 90 and Q = 300) and that the demands for gold and silver are given by the following equations: PG = 990 - Qg +0.50PS and Ps = 630 -Qs +0.50PG What the the equilibrium prices of gold and silver?
