Analyzing Market Dynamics
Consider a model that describes the evolution of housing prices, where the price in the next period is a function of the current price. In this framework, contrast the long-term market implications of two distinct events:
- A one-time government subsidy for homebuyers that is only available for a single month.
- A permanent change in zoning laws that significantly increases the potential for new housing construction indefinitely.
Explain how the underlying relationship between current and future prices is affected differently in each scenario and what this means for the market's stable equilibrium price(s).

Role of Future Price Expectations in Shifting the Price Dynamics Curve
Triggering a Housing Market Bust via a Downward PDC Shift
Imagine a housing market is described by an S-shaped curve that relates the current price of a house to its expected price in the next period. A major, long-term employer in the city unexpectedly announces it is shutting down, leading to widespread belief that property values will be lower in the future, regardless of their current price. How would this fundamental change in market sentiment be represented on the graph of the S-shaped curve?

Analyzing Market Dynamics
In a housing market model represented by a stable S-shaped curve relating current to future prices, a sudden, temporary increase in demand that raises the current price—without altering long-term expectations about the market's future—is represented by an upward shift of the entire curve.
