8. Short-run and long-run effects of a shift in demand
Suppose that the jackfruit industry is initially operating in long-run equilibrium at a price level of $5 per pound of Jackfruit and quantity of 175 million
pounds per year. Suppose a top medical journal publishes research that animal-alternative protein sources such as Jackfruit could increase your
expected lifespan by 4 years.
The publication is expected to cause consumers to demand
