ECO 561 Week 2 : Assignment: Market Equilibration Process Paper

Equilibration is the process of moving between two equilibrium points as a result of some change in supply or demand.  Understanding how market equilibrium is sought following such a change is essential for business managers. It is important to understand how economic principles, and specifically supply, demand, and their determents are a part of your everyday business decisions.
 

Write a paper, create a video, or create a PowerPoint presentation using a real world experience in a free market (not government regulated) to describe a change that occurred in supply or demand as a result of world events that led to the need for a move between two equilibrium states.  Explain the process of how that movement occurred using behaviors of consumers and suppliers.  Graph the movement between the two points as well.  

Required Elements: 

• Include academic research to support your ideas
• Consider the Law of demand and the determinants of demand
• Consider the Law of supply and the determinants of supply
• Describe Efficient markets theory
• Explain Surplus and shortage
• Deliver the content in no more than a 700-word paper, OR  7- to 10-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, OR  2- to 3-minute video (Please choose one of these choices, not all three),
• Use University of Phoenix Material: Appendix A to create graphs illustrating the movement between the two equilibrium points and include this in the body of the assignment.
• Your assignment is consistent with APA guidelines.
