make a choice involving opportunity costs. Explain how opportunity costs
influenced your decision making.

ECN 220 Grand Canyon Week 2 Discussion 1
All U.S. states subsidize education for college students, mostly
by charging below-cost tuition. Nearly free tuition is available in many
European countries and Canada. Do you think the government should subsidize
college education so that it can be provided with very low tuition? Or, should
college education be allocated in a market system, in which prices are set by
supply and demand? Provide your rationale.
ECN 220 Grand Canyon Week 2 Discussion 2
Give two examples of actions taken by a company, government, or
organization whose effect is to prevent specific markets from reaching
equilibrium. What evidence of excess supply or excess demand can you cite in
these examples?

Jane spends all her income on hot dogs and caviar. Her demand
curve for caviar is inelastic at all prices for caviar. Unfortunately, the
accident at Chernobyl has caused the supply of caviar to fall and the price to
rise. What has happened to Jane’s consumption of hot dogs? Explain. (Note: You
should assume that the accident at Chernobyl had no effect on the price of hot
dogs or Jane’s preference for caviar.)

cigarette smoking is to tax cigarettes.

cigarettes: all adults or young adults? Why? Cite elasticity of demand
estimates from the article to support you answer.
2. To have the greatest effect on reducing cancer from tobacco
use, what other products should the government tax? Why?
3. What is the long-run elasticity of demand for cigarette
smoking? What does this mean for the likely impact of taxes on long-term
cigarette use? Why?
