Some cities impose rent control laws, which are price
controls or limits on the price of rental
accommodations (apartments, houses, and
mobile homes). New York City alone had over two
million rent-controlled apartments in the early 1950s, but
only about 27,000 as of 2014. Show the effect of a rent
control law on the equilibrium rental price and the quantity
of N.Y. apartments. Show the amount of excess demand
on your supply-and-demand diagram.
Consider the market rental dwellings in New York
illustrated in the figure to the right. Suppose the maximum
rent with New York's laws is p.
1.) Using the point drawing tool, indicate the quantity of
rental dwellings demanded and the market rent with the
rent control laws. Label this point 'ed.'
2.) Using the point drawing tool, indicate the quantity of
rental dwellings supplied and the market rent with the rent
control laws. Label this point 'es.'
Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the
required objects.

- The following table summarizes information about the market for principles of economics textbooks: What is the market equilibrium price and quantity of textbooks? To quell outrage over tuition increases, the college places a $55 limit on the price of textbooks. How many textbooks will be sold now?
