The table below gives information on bottled water in Florida. As you would expect, the demand for water is higher than normal during a hurricane.

Price (per bottle) Quantity supplied Normal times quantity demanded Hurricane quantity
$6 100 25 75
$5 85 35 85
$4 70 45 95
$3 55 55 105
$2 40 65 115
$1 25 75 125
Concerned with citizen complaints of price gouging during past hurricanes, Florida's state government passes a law setting a price ceiling for a bottle of water equal to the market equilibrium price during normal times. After all, it seems unfair that sellers of water gain because of a hurricane.

During a hurricane, there would be a shortage of bottles of water.

Without the antiprice gouging law, consumers would have to pay $ more than the ceiling price, but they would bv able to buy more bottles of water.

Suppose an economist believes that the price level in the economy is directly related to the money supply, or the amount of money circulating in the economy. the economist proposes the following relationship: p=a x m - p=price level - m=money supply - a=a composite of other factors, including real gdp, that change very slowly over time. how might an economist gather empirical data to test the proposed relationship between money and the price level? an economist would persuade the federal reserve to change the money supply to various levels, and observe the resulting changes in the price level. unlike researchers in the hard sciences, economists cannot study complex relationships using data. economists do not usually develop theoretical models of the economy but only analyze summary statistics about the current state of the economy. an economist would look for data on past changes in the money supply, and note the resulting changes in the price level
