Question

Figure 2.3 -In Figure 2.3, the initial demand curve is D₁ and the supply curve is S₁. The most likely result of pessimistic producer expectations is a move from equilibrium

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pessimistic producer expectations would likely cause producers to anticipate lower future prices or demand, leading them to reduce supply. This reduction in supply would shift the supply curve to the left, moving the equilibrium from a point with higher quantity and lower price (A) to a point with lower quantity and higher price (B).
