This is a file upload question for which you will be creating supply and demand graphs. You can draw the graphs by hand, take a photo, and upload them OR you can draw the graphs using your computer, save as an image file, and upload that. Please upload one image with all of your graphs on it, making sure to number each graph clearly. Note that the next question asks you to write captions for each graph to explain what the graphs are depicting.  SUPPLY AND DEMAND FOR TEMPE APARTMENTS: Consider the market for rental apartment housing in Tempe. Using supply and demand graphs, illustrate how the following situations would change the equilibrium price and quantity. Make sure to clearly label which is the original supply/demand, and which is the shifted supply/demand. 1) ASU’s Tempe campus expands, opening its doors to an additional 5,000 undergraduate students. 2) There is a sudden, sharp rise in crime in Mesa (the city immediately to the east of Tempe). 3) There is an outbreak of bedbugs in a large Tempe apartment complex. 4) COVID-19 causes a large fraction of ASU students to opt for fully online learning. 5) The City of Tempe charges property owners a new fee of $100/month for a landlord business license.

SUPPLY AND DEMAND FOR TEMPE APARTMENTS: For each of the graphs that you created for the previous question, write a sentence to explain what is happening in your own words. Make sure to number your sentences so I’m sure which graph you are writing about.

For this question, please write two paragraphs. In the first paragraph, describe some of the bad things about cities. In the second paragraph, cite at least 3 pieces of evidence to help explain why, in spite of these things, Dr. Glaeser titled his book The Triumph of the City.

This is a file upload question for which you will be creating supply/demand graphs. You can draw the graphs by hand, take a photo, and upload them OR you can draw the graphs using your computer, save as an image file, and upload that. Please upload one image with both graphs on it, making sure to number each graph clearly. Note that the next question asks you to identify scenarios and then explain what these graphs are depicting.  DEMAND AND SUPPLY FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORT: For this and the following questions, instead of asking you to depict and explain scenarios that I have invented, you get to depict and explain scenarios that you invent! The first task, then, is to invent two scenarios that will change the market for public transport: one that will shift supply and one that will shift demand. Using supply and demand graphs, illustrate your supply shift in one graph and your demand shift in the next. Make sure to clearly label which is the original supply/demand, and which is the shifted supply/demand.
