Rent control is common in some cities, particularly in the United States. You will have noticed some of the consequences in movies or TV shows, usually police stories, set in the high-rise areas of New York City, for example. Suppose you have been given the following information about the market for rental housing in Winona: Quantity Demanded Rent (dollars per month) $500 550 600 650 700 750 800 20,000 15,000 10,000 5,000 2,500 1,500 1,000 a) What is the equilibrium rent? b) What is the equilibrium quantity of rented housing? Quantity Supplied 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 Now suppose that a rent ceiling of $700 is imposed in the housing market for Winona. c) What is the quantity of housing demanded? d) What is the quantity of housing supplied? e) Is there excess demand for or excess supply of housing with the imposition of a rent ceiling? Explain what is happening in the market for rental housing market in Winona.
"New York City has a long-standing policy of control-ling rents in certain parts of the city—in essence, a price ceiling on rent. Is the market for apartments likely to be efficient or inefficient? What does this imply for the size of total surplus?"
As you can see from the article in the prior problem, "Rents Hit All-Time Highs amid Job Growth and Low Vacancy Rates," some people move out as a result of rent increases, while others are ready to pay an even higher rent. Rent control adds yet another aspect by setting a ceiling on what the rental price can ultimately rise to. The supply and demand model can be used to illustrate the mechanism that leads to all these different market outcomes. Consider the market for rental properties in Los Angeles and Orange counties in Southern California. Suppose that while average earnings increased by about 10% in Los Angeles and Orange counties, the average rent has increased by 20%. (Assume for a moment that there are no rent control regulations.) Adjust the following graph to illustrate the rent increase by either using the black point (cross symbol) or by shifting the supply and demand curves. Hint: Determine whether this scenario leads to a shift in the demand/supply curve or a movement…
Rent controls policies are common in urban areas. Are rent controls typically price ceilings or price floors? Briefly explain two ways that economists expect rent controls to affect the urban housing markets in the short-run.
The ticket price for a play at a Broadway theater is $160, and the theater is full every night. The theater owner, in consultation with a local non-profit arts group, wants to make attending the play more affordable, to open up the theater experience to patrons with more limited budgets. The owner decides to lower the ticket price to $50. Sketch a supply-anddemand graph that represents the market for these play tickets under this price-ceiling policy. Briefly explain why this market is not in equilibrium when the price ceiling is in effect. On your graph, clearly identify the size of the shortage or surplus this market will experience.

$30 a week boost to minimum wage The government increased the minimum wage by $30 a week to $570 a week. Unions wanted a $35 a week increase, but employers argued that a $35 a week increase was unaffordable. Source: ABC Australia, February 11, 2011 The graph shows a market for low-skilled labor.

In April 2021, there was shortage of ABC cement in the country which led to a rise in the price of ABC cement. The government then intended to put a price ceiling on cement in the country to minimize the loss to users of cement for construction purposes. Some people were of the view that “the fixing of a price ceiling for cement in the country will not have any effect”. Briefly discuss with the aid of an appropriate diagram, the effect of the imposition of price ceiling on ABC cement in the market.

How are rent controls likely to affect the market for housing in a city? Create a graph illustrating the market for apartments without rent controls to help with your answer. What does it mean, in terms of this market for the rent control to be effective? Would you recommend such a policy?
