Overview
Demand refers to the amount consumers are willing to purchase at various prices while supply refers to what producers are willing to supply at various prices. Using what you learn in this module about supply and demand, answer the following questions in a full response:
What is the difference between a change in demand and a change in quantity demanded? Or the difference between a change in supply and a change in quantity supplied?
What Determinants can cause a change in demand and what Determinants can cause a change in supply?
Can you give any current examples of a determinant of demand that you see changing in any industry or marketplace or a determinant of supply that you see changing? What effects do you see?
Where appropriate, cite examples from your text or other readings.
The rubric says this:
Post includes substantial and thoughtful content with appropriate terms and concepts learned in the course utilized. Post addresses fully the topic question.
References cited as needed.
Four bi-weekly write-ups of 700-800 words are to be submitted on Gauchospace by
the indicated Mondays at noon on the previous two week’s lectures and readings.
Write-ups should not be merely a list of lecture points, but what you learned from
the lectures and readings and how they have influenced your thought–what you
have incorporated from the lectures and readings into your understanding of
economics.
Newspaper articles: those should be cited, as they were written by someone else.
If you quote text from them directly, the text must be enclosed in “…” Also, be sure to add a formal citation in the references.
Academic articles are the same: please cite in the same (formal) way.
The main interest for the essay is the strength of your (economic) argument, how well your argument is structured, and the quality of your writing. For this assignment, external research is not required.
There is a recent article very relevant to the issue of whether the production of plastics creates negative externalities.

1. To face the impact of the pandemic the government has been forced to raise the deficit to very high level. Use the Solow growth model of Chapter 9 and what you learned in chapter 3 to graphically illustrate the impact of a permanent government deficit increase on the steady-state capital–labor ratio and the steady-state level of output per worker. Explain in words why the curves move the way they did. Be sure to label the: a) axes; b) curves; c) initial steady-state levels; d) terminal steady-state levels; and e) the direction curves shift.
2. Explain why a higher savings rate generates both positive and negative impacts on steady-state consumption per worker in the Solow growth model with population growth and technological change.

Context
In Chapter 5 of Managerial Economics, Froeb discusses post-investment holdup as a sunk cost problem associated with contract-specific fixed investments. The modern theory of contracts is sometimes called the theory of joining wills, which simply means when parties make an agreement they are joining together to complete an endeavor of mutual interest. The problem with all contracts that endure over time is that not all potential challenges can be anticipated. The idea of joining wills is that parties will attempt to seek accommodations to advance their mutual interest, so long as the return on the invested activity pays off. Froeb illustrates the idea by the example of marriage as a contract.

Instructions
Review the three scenarios below. Look for which, if any, of these scenarios presents an example of post-investment holdup.
Your firm conducted a search for a new chief financial officer and hired a highly qualified candidate with a yearly salary of $250,000. After six months, the person left to join another firm.
Your firm has an exclusive contract to assemble automobile seats for a number of luxury models. Almost 100% of the materials are imported and, of those, over 50% include parts manufactured in China. All of the prices on the parts from China increased by 25% when the United States imposed tariffs on China. Your company has informed all of its customers that increased cost must be passed on for your firm to continue supplying the seats. All of your customers reluctantly agreed to pay the additional cost.
Your company took note of your progress toward your MBA, and when the director for customer services left the company, you were asked to take over as interim director. You were encouraged to apply for the full-time position once you got your MBA. You served for 13 months, at which time your company was acquired by another company and your position was abolished.
In your discussion post, address the following:
Introduce yourself to your peers by sharing something unique about your background. Explain how you expect this course will help you move forward in your current or future career.
Identify which of the above scenarios, if any, are an example of post-investment holdup.
Choose one of the scenarios above. Define the following and explain each within the context of the chosen scenario:
What is the sunk, or stranded, cost?
What is the contract?
Was the contract breached?
What are the damages?
To earn full credit for your discussion, you must complete one post and one follow-up or reply to a classmate. Make sure both the post and the reply focus on the questions asked.
Carl Kaysen, an American academic known for coining the phrase “the soulful corporation” to define new, more responsible large companies, believed said companies’ goal was no longer ROI. He proposed that these modern companies identify and target the much larger goal of being responsible not only to stockholders but to all. In today’s world, companies like UPS have mapped deliveries to make as many right turns as possible in order to save time, protect employees, save fuel, and reduce emissions. The NFL, Salesforce, and Walgreens have stepped up their DEI strategies to avoid bias in hiring and promotion of underrepresented groups.
With this in mind, for your initial post, describe the makeup of your project team. Then, address the following questions about your proposed strategy:
What steps are you going to take to promote CSR initiatives? For example: what community programs, nonprofits, or environmental projects will the new product or service support?
How do you plan to attract, develop, engage, and reward your project team?

In your use of social media, have you dealt with undesirable behavior of others? If so, give some examples. Is this behavior akin to a type of externality? Explain. How does this discussion tie into microeconomics?
Prompt 2 – Letter N – Z
Give some examples of social media providers regulating the behavior of others. Do you think the providers of social media should regulate the behavior of users? Explain. How does this discussion tie into microeconomics?
