  1. (14 points – parts A, B, and C) Suppose people who are thinking about buying an existing home (i.e. demanders in the housing market) and current home owners who are thinking about selling their homes (i.e. suppliers in the housing market) suddenly believe that home prices are likely to be significantly lower next year than this year.

 

5A (4 pts.) Will this change in price expectations for next year cause the demand to purchaseexisting homes this year to increase or decrease?  Explain.

 

5B (4 pts.) Will this change in price expectations for next year cause the supply ofexisting homes offered for sale this year to increase or decrease?  Explain.

 

5C (6 pts.) What effect will this change in price expectations for next year have on the price of existing homes this year?  Explain.

 

 

  1. (6 points) Suppose one of your friends offered the following argument:

 

A rightward shift in demand will cause upward price pressure.  The increase in price will cause a rightward shift of the supply curve, which would lead to downward price pressure.  Therefore, it is impossible to tell what the overall effect of an increase in demand will have on price.

 

Do you agree with your friend?  If so, explain why?  If not, what is the flaw in your          friend’s argument?

  1. (16 points)The focus of this question is the market for Airbnb property rentals in the          State of Hawaii.  Assume that the market for Airbnb property rentals in Hawaii is      currently in a state of equilibrium.  Now assume the two disturbances below happen    simultaneously (i.e. at the same time):

 

  • In order to encourage tourism, the government of the State of Hawaii offers Hawaiian homeowners a $100 subsidy (i.e. a payment made to homeowners from the state government) each time they make their home available to tourists for Airbnb rentals.
  • In order of offset the state budget shortfall, the State of Hawaii implements a $75 airport tax on all arriving and departing fliers that are not residents of the State of Hawaii.

 

What are your expectations as to how these two simultaneous disturbances will likely        affect the future equilibrium price of Airbnb property rentals and the future equilibrium        quantity of Airbnb property rentals (i.e. how do you think the future equilibrium will             compare to the equilibrium that existed before the disturbances took place)?  To start with, explain how each disturbance, independently, would affect the future equilibrium             price and quantity.  Provide support for your position.  Finally, present your overall           conclusion and provide support for your answer.
