Wikipedia, not an opinion article, a news article) that describes a

Assignment History
Find a news article on the Internet that describes a shift in the
supply curve or in the demand curve. The article must be recent (within the last six months),
and MUST NOT be from an encyclopedia or reference website that
discusses demand and supply. DO NOT use blogs. Use well established
business web sites or industry specific web sites.
The best articles are about changes in the price and/or sales of a
particular product. You then have the opportunity to demonstrate your
understanding of supply and demand shifts as you explain the changes in
price and quantity experienced by the product you choose.
RECOMMENDATION: READ THE SAMPLE PROJECT: Under the Getting Started link.
Summarize the article. (Do not quote the article, but explain it
as if you were telling someone about it. If you do use direct quotes or
paraphrases, remember that citations and references are required.)
Explain which graph in our collection – A, B, C, or D –
illustrates the shift that you identify by describing the change in
price and the change in equilibrium quantity (remember the difference
between a change in quantity and a change in the position of the curve –
these are described in the documents linked above).
Some articles may describe a situation where both curves shift. This is not common but it is possible.
Do use paragraphs in your post. And do remain focused on what is in the article.
Provide a full URL link to the article along with an APA-formatted reference to the article at the bottom of your submission.
Important: This is a Microeconomic course. Do not choose an
article discussing Macroeconomic issues: Inflation, unemployment, trade
deficit, government budget deficit, etc.

Week 2 discussion
Economics Assignment Help Note: These videos have Closed
Captioning. To activate it, start the video, mouse over the bottom of
the video and click on the CC icon, then select from the menu.This
week’s discussion topic is about Price Gouging. Price gouging occurs
only under a narrow set of legally defined circumstances. Price gouging
is a legal concept, not an economic concept.When a natural
disaster occurs and the governor of the state declares a state of
emergency then the price gouging law of that state will go into effect,
but only if the state has such a law.The economic effect of
price gouging laws is to put a Price Ceiling on all goods and services
covered by the state’s price gouging law. Price ceilings always cause
shortages.
Assignment Summary:
Read “Florida Lawsuits Allege Price Gouging,” and “They Clapped: Can Price-Gouging Laws Prohibit Scarcity?”
Read the article from Chapter 4 in your textbook: “In the News: Price Increases after Disasters” (pages 80-81).
Also read the article –
The Problem with Price Gouging Laws
The Problem with Price Gouging Laws – Alternative Formats

Watch the Price Gouging videos above.
Summarize the main points of each article and decide which graph
(A, B, C, or D) can be used to explain each event and why – be specific.
More than one graph may apply. (

What is your conclusion? Is price gouging a good thing or not? Or is it just necessary? Explain why.
Post your views to the discussion board and refer to at least two
different concepts from this week’s Chapters. Your illustration of
concepts MUST include an explanation why you think they are are relevant
to the week’s topic using specific information from the articles,
videos and other research that you have done.
MAKE SURE THAT YOU ADD SOMETHING NEW to the discussion.
Post on three different
days for a minimum of three posts. Failure to meet these minimum
posting requirements results in point loss.
