Think of a relevant example in your own life of how a change in the market (including information, preferences, technology, price of alternative goods, regulations, taxes, etc.) has shifted either the supply or demand of a good. How did this change affect the market equilibrium for that good or service? Explain. Next, find a relatively recent news article (within the past year) to support your finding (the news search feature in Google is helpful with this). If you cannot find an article specific to your example, you may find an article about another similar good or service. Summarize the article and its findings, then include the URL in your discussion post.

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. Adverse weather conditions destroy a large amount of hazelnut trees in Turkey, the leading hazelnut producer in the world.
2. The Italian company Ferrero makes a decision to increase the hazelnut content in its Nutella cocoa hazelnut spread.
3. New research finds that hazelnuts lower cholesterol and improve heart health more than people previously thought, and lots of people become aware of the results of the new study.
The graph shows the demand for and supply of potato chips.
Draw a curve that shows the effect of a new dip that increases the quantity of potato
chips that people want to buy by 30 million bags per week at each price. Label the
curve 1.
Draw a curve that shows the effect of a virus that destroys potato crops and
decreases the quantity of potato chips produced by 40 million bags a week at each
price. Label the curve 2.
Draw a point at the new equilibrium price and quantity following both events.
