Textbook Question
Chapter 16, Problem 1.7P
[Related to the Economics in Practice on p. 329] The Economics in Practice suggests that economists often distinguish between short-run and long-run effects of policies or actions when adjusting to environmental disasters. Research a recent environmental disaster (such as the New England blizzard in early 2015, Hurricane Sandy in 2012, the 2015 earthquake in Nepal, or the BP oil spill in 2010.) Explain the major environmental impact the disaster had on the affected area, how long you think it will take for the area to recover from the disaster, and why you believe the adjustment to the disaster will take either a relatively short or long time.

Egyptian dates are much sweeter! Due largely to their climate and geography, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, and Iran produce more dates than either the US or Canada. Dates grow best in hot dry climates with long dry growing seasons, which these nations naturally offer. They also produce a lot of dates because of their extensive agricultural, infrastructure, and centuries-old date-growing expertise. Conversely, the U.S., there aren't many places in Canada and California that are suitable for date farming, only a select few, like the Coachella Valley, in California can produce dates on a large scale. Although California produces some dates, it is not as much as countries like Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Depending only on U.S., because of increased labor and production costs, dates grown in this way may have a limited supply and raise prices. We can obtain a greater supply of dates at competitive prices while maintaining consistent quality by…arrow_forward
