c.Several major companies that do not drill oil open factories in Texas, offering many well-paid jobs outside the oil industry.
d.Government imposes costly new regulations to make oil-drilling a safer job.

c.Banks that have made home loans find that a larger number of people than they expected are not repaying those loans.

4.Table 4.6shows the amount of savings and borrowing in a market for loans to purchase homes, measured in millions of dollars, at various interest rates. What is the equilibrium interest rate and quantity in the capital financial market? How can you tell? Now, imagine that because of a shift in the perceptions of foreign investors, the supply curve shifts so that there will be $10 million less supplied at every interest rate. Calculate the new equilibrium interest rate and quantity, and explain why the direction of the interest rate shift makes intuitive sense. (hint: for the second part, subtract 10 from each Qs and find the new equilibrium price/quantity)
