Some argue that the answer is to reduce the supply of drugs from Colombia – which would otherwise eventually find their way onto the world markets – by giving aid to the Colombian government to fight the drug suppliers. If this is successful, it will drive up the price of cocaine on the streets. Higher prices mean that fewer people will be willing and able to buy drugs, resulting in a fall in demand. This scenario can be seen in Figure 1.13(a) where a successful anti-drug policy in Colombia would decrease supply, i.e. shift the supply curve for cocaine upwards and to the left so that there is an excess demand for cocaine at price P. This will result in a rise in the equilibrium price of cocaine from P to P1. The quantity demanded will contract along the demand curve D from Q to Q1 as price rises from P to P1.

One side effect becoming apparent is Sandy's influence on the used car market. According to the Detroit Free Press, the destruction of some 250,000 vehicles has led to a shortage that could affect late-model used vehicle prices nationwide. The National Auto Dealers Association estimates that prices could increase 0.5% to 1.5%. That may not seem like much (550-S175 per vehicle), but Edmunds.com suggests that in the short term, prices could jump $700 to $1.000.
