Evaluating a Price Support Policy
A government, aiming to support local corn farmers, implements a policy that sets a mandatory minimum price for corn. This minimum price is set significantly higher than the price at which the amount of corn farmers are willing to sell naturally matches the amount consumers are willing to buy. Evaluate the likely outcome of this policy on the corn market. In your evaluation, describe the specific market condition that will arise, explain the behavior of producers and consumers that leads to this condition, and discuss two potential unintended consequences of this policy.
