Supply and Demand Guide

Assignment Instructions
• Find a news article on the Internet that describes a shift in the supply curve or in the demand curve.
The article must be recent (within the last six months) and MUST NOT be from an encyclopedia or reference website that discusses demand and supply. DO NOT use blogs. Use well established business web sites or industry specific web sites.

• The best articles are about changes in the price and/or sales of a particular product. You then can demonstrate your understanding of supply and demand shifts as you explain the changes in price and quantity experienced by the product you choose.

• Summarize the article. (Do not quote the article but explain it as if you were telling someone about it. If you do use direct quotes or paraphrases, remember that citations and references are required.)

• Explain which graph in our collection – A, B, C, or D – illustrates the shift that you identify by describing the change in price and the change in equilibrium quantity (remember the difference between a change in quantity and a change in the position of the curve – these are described in the documents linked above).

• Provide a full URL link to the article along with an APA–formatted reference

• Important: This is a Microeconomic course. Do not choose an article discussing Macroeconomic issues: Inflation, unemployment, trade deficit, government budget deficit, etc.
