[Related to Solved Problem 10.4 on page 330] In an article in the Quarterly Journal of Economics, Ted O’Donoghue and Matthew Rabin make the following observation: “People have self-control problems caused by a tendency to pursue immediate gratification in a way that their ‘longrun selves’ do not appreciate.” What do they mean by a person’s “long-run self ”? Give two examples of people pursuing immediate gratification that their long-run selves would not appreciate. Based on Ted O’Donoghue and Matthew Rabin, “Choice and Procrastination,” Quarterly Journal of Economics, February 2001, pp. 125–126.
Fill in the blank by typing 'increase', 'decrease', 'no change, or 'uncertain'. To receive credit, make sure to type the words in exactly as I have above. Do not include the apostrophes ('). In March of 2021 there was a fire in a major Japanese computer chip factory. This event would have caused the market price of computer chips to and the market quantity to Computer chips are a necessary input in the production of cars. Therefore, the factory fire would cause the market price for new cars to and the market quantity to Around the end of March 2021, the number of COVID-19 cases began to drop. As a result, people began to return to work and subsequently demanded more cars. The effects of this in conjunction with the factory fire would cause the market price for cars to and the market quantity to

The easing Covid-19 pandemic is expected to reduce demand for medical masks this year, joining a group of companies that have forecast a decline in business from Covid-19 prevention. Masks became a billion-dollar business for the St. Paul, Minn., manufacturer starting in 2020, when the virus’s rapid spread sent consumers and healthcare workers looking to secure facial coverings to try to avoid infection. Now, as the latest U.S. surge caused by the Omicron variant fades, 3M said they are seeing slowing mask sales. WHICH GRAPH BEST FITS THE ARTICLE. Graph # Graph…

As an Economics student you have been analysing the price movements of differentproducts. You note the following two price relationships:a. When there is a drought the price of maize rises.b. When the price of potatoes increases, the price of bread also increases (bread is asubstitute for potatoes).Use demand and supply diagrams to explain these two relationships. Please note: Twodiagrams are required, one for maize and one for bread.
