Freely functioning markets tend to arrive at their own equilibrium. Briefly state why this statement is generally true.
This happens because of the invisible forces of market demand and market supply that force the price level to reach the market clearing one. Suppose that there is a free market in which the price is greater than the market clearing price at which quantity demanded and quantity supplied are equal to each other. Because there is currently a surplus of goods, suppliers will be willing to clear off their inventory and they will reduce the price of their products. As soon as the price decreases the consumer will start purchasing more and more units. As the prices starts falling, quantity demanded increases and quantity supplied decrease is and finally the price reaches the market equilibrium at which there is no surplus.
Similarly a shortage is eliminated when the price is increased. Due to this reason free functioning markets automatically reach their own equilibrium by the forces of demand and supply.

Limited access to insurance is often a constraint faced by smallholder farmers that hinders agricultural productivity. 3. When applied to real-world data, the Solow model does pretty well in explaining how amounts of capital and labor can impact aggregate production. 4.

State whether the following statement is true or false, and explain why. If the statement is false, state the true change. If the national economy shrank at an annual rate of 9% per year for four consecutive years, then the economy shrank by 36% over the four-year period. Choose the correct answer below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice. The statement is false because each year there is a different reference value. The economy...

Statement 2: In Cournot Equilibrium as the number of firms increase, the price becomes closer and closer to the competitive equilibrium price. a. Both statements are true b. Both statements are false c. Statement 2 is true, but 1 is false d. Statement 1 is true, but 2 is false 3. Statement 1: In a Bertrand duopoly firms always want...
Explain briefly why you think the following statement is true, false, or ambiguous. Competitive currencies would work automatically to provide consumers with protection against inflation.
For each statement, decide whether it is True, False or Uncertain and explain why briefly 1- Y=w*L + r *K , where Y is GDP, is this equation true? And if it is, can you explain the intuition? 2- Output is a function of Capital and Labor. In the Solow growth model, you can save and grow your capital indefinitely, and then your economy will always grow and standards of living will rise forever. 3- In the neoclassical model, government...

48. Which statement explains why free markets fail to produce public goods? Firms do not want to produce the good because they fear competition will drive the price down below costs. Consumers do not want to buy the good because the price is higher than the value of benefits they would receive. ° Consumers do not want to buy the product because each hopes that someone else will buy it and then all consumers will be able to have the...
