- Consider the market for hazelnuts. Use the supply and demand model to explain the effect of the following scenarios on the equilibrium price (P*) and the equilibrium quantity (Q*) of hazelnuts. In each of the following scenarios, does the supply curve shift? Does the demand curve shift? If there is a shift of the supply and/ or the demand curve, in what direction? Show graphically. Does the equilibrium price of hazelnuts increase or decrease? Does the equilibrium quantity of hazelnuts increase or decrease? 1. The price of almonds, a substitute for hazelnuts, decreases significantly. 2. Hazelnut producers discover a method to pick hazelnuts more efficiently which significantly reduces the cost of hazelnut production. 3. Hazelnut consumers’ incomes increase, and a new location where the climate is appropriate for growing lots of hazelnuts has been discovered.

The law of supply states that otherthings equal, producers will offer more of a product at a high pricethan at a low price. Thus, the relationship between price and quantity supplied is positive or direct, and supply is graphed as anupsloping curve.The market supply curve is the horizontal summation of thesupply curves of the individual producers of the product.Changes in one or more of the determinants of supply (resource prices, production techniques, taxes or subsidies, the pricesof other goods, producer expectations, or the number of sellers inthe market) shift the supply curve of a product.
