Modeling Market Changes
A city's housing market is described by a dynamic model where a curve relates the current price to the expected rate of price change. A major local employer unexpectedly announces it is shutting down, leading to a widespread and persistent decrease in demand for housing. Explain whether this event would be modeled as a movement along the curve or a shift of the entire curve, and justify your reasoning.

Consider a dynamic model representing a city's housing market, where the expected rate of price change is a function of the current price level. Two distinct events occur in this market:
Event A: The municipal government enacts a new zoning law that permanently increases the number of homes that can be built per acre, fundamentally altering the long-term supply potential at all price points.
Event B: A single, large apartment complex is unexpectedly sold to a foreign investor for a price significantly above the market average, causing a temporary, localized spike in the average price statistic for that month.
How would these two events be interpreted within the model's framework?
A dynamic model describes the relationship between the current price of a good and its expected rate of price change, represented by a curve. Match each economic event described below with its correct representation within this model's framework.
