  • ECON 545 Week 1 DQ 1 Supply and Demand
  • ECON 545 Week 1 DQ 2 Elasticity and the Minimum
    Wage
  • What is the difference between a change in demand
    versus a change in quantity demanded? A change in
    supply versus a change in quantity supplied? Why
    is it so important to differentiate between these
    similar-sounding terms?
  • What are your thoughts about minimum wage
    legislation? What kind of a price-control policy
    is this? Who gains? Who loses? Are there
    alternatives to this legislation for achieving
    the same policy objectives? What role do demand
    and supply elasticities play in determining
    outcomes?

  • ECON 545 Week 2 DQ 1 Marginal Analysis
  • ECON 545 Week 2 DQ 2 Controlling Costs
  • Why is marginal analysis important in economics?
    How do the tutorials Basics of Marginal Analysis
    and Understanding and Applying Marginal Analysis
    at the end of this week's lecturereinforce the
    concepts of marginal analysis? How can any firm
    find the right production level which guarantees
    maximum profit (or minimum loss)?
  • Name some of the ways firms attempt to control
    their costs. How does your firm control costs?
    The key here in keeping this question interesting
    is that reducing the workforce or having one
    person do the work of three people are not the
    only ways to control costs. I'm looking for more
    creative ways. Maybe you can think of some that
    your firm is not currently using. Be creative
    here.

  • Review and chose a firm of your choice provided

    would apply? Is anti-trust legislation "fair" to
    your chosen firm? Why or why not?
  • Scour the national media for a credible
    macroeconomic current issue (many good sources
    are available online) in which Chapters 19-21 is
    at the heart of the matter. Summarize your
    article for your colleagues and attach a link to
    your article. Make sure you appropriately refer
    to the textbook sections that apply to your
    chosen article.
