  ESSAY #1

1. Research elasticity information for two particular goods: one with an elastic demand and one with an inelastic demand. Using elasticity information you gather, predict changes in demand. The United States Department of Agriculture website has a good resource to help with this.

2. Describe how marginal analysis, by avoiding sunk costs, leads to better pricing decisions.

3. Explain the importance of opportunity costs to decision-making and how opportunity costs lead to trade.

4. Evaluate how better business decisions can benefit not just the producer but the consumer and society as a whole. In your evaluation, contrast the deontology and consequentialism approaches to ethics.

Your essay must be at least three pages in length (not counting the title and references pages) and include at least three peer-reviewed resources. Adhere to APA Style when writing your essay, including citations and references for sources used. Be sure to include an introduction. Please note that no abstract is needed.

Essay #2

International trade can have big effects on domestic markets. For both an import good and an export good (in other words, address each bulleted item below twice—once for import and once for export), describe how opening up to international trade affects the following:

§ supply or demand for the particular good,

§ the competitiveness of that good’s market, and

§ how the change in competitiveness affects equilibrium price and quantity.

Stepping away from the import/export examples, describe how opening up to trade specifically affects a domestic monopoly. Include an explanation, using game theory, of how even a single additional competitor can lead to a market outcome similar to perfect competition.

Essay #3

Auctions can be an important tool for selling goods and gathering information. Auctions are used in multiple venues including agriculture, eBay, and distressed asset sales. The seller does not have to worry about estimating demand and setting a price because the demanders will do that through the auction process.

Write an essay examining the value of auctions in the economy by addressing the following items.

§ Explain the difference between oral auctions and second-price auctions, including how they work and their results.

§ Use the expected value information to illustrate how having more bidders in an oral auction will likely result in a higher winning bid.

§ Explain how the number of bidders in a common value auction affects the outcome of the auction. Relate this to the effect on price in different market structures based on the number of producers.

§ Auctions lead to outcomes where buyers reveal their value for the products being auctioned. To successfully price discriminate, firms often rely on buyers revealing their value for products. Explain the conditions necessary for firms to be able to price discriminate.
