Activity: Applying Supply and Demand Model to Hayek-Related Events
This activity requires the application of the supply and demand model to analyze events detailed in Section 8.1 and a reading about economist Friedrich Hayek. For each specified event, the task is to determine which curve, supply or demand, shifts and to explain the resulting effect on the market.

Suppose that in the market for avocados, observers note that the equilibrium price has risen while the equilibrium quantity has fallen. Which of the following events, occurring on its own, could explain this specific combination of changes?
Analyzing a Market Shock
Match each market event with its most likely impact on the equilibrium price (P) and equilibrium quantity (Q) in the specified market, assuming all other factors remain constant.
Analyzing Simultaneous Market Shocks
True or False: If a new health study is published that convincingly demonstrates major health benefits from eating apples, the immediate effect in the apple market will be an increase in the equilibrium price and a decrease in the equilibrium quantity.

Market Dynamics for Electric Bicycles
Consider the market for new houses. In a single year, two significant events occur simultaneously: (1) the price of lumber and other essential building materials increases sharply, and (2) interest rates for home loans decrease, making it easier for people to borrow money to buy a house. Given only this information, what is the definite outcome on the equilibrium price and quantity of new houses?
