Assignment details.

Imagine you are a researcher working on behalf of the Irish pharma industry. Based on the work we have done in class,[ where we have been using demand/supply and elasticity analysis to predict outcomes from various events], prepare short report on how each of the following might impact the price and quantity of pharma products in Ireland. [Treat each of these events separately]. You need to draw a diagram and give a brief explanation for each of these.

I will explain in class how this assignment should be prepared.

3. The government increase the minimum wage paid to all employees.
4. Improvements in technology are implemented that allows for greater efficiency in production methods in the pharma industry.
5. The government impose a price ceiling on all prescription drugs.

2. Five sections, one for each of the five items above, where you illustrate and explain, using one or a few diagrams and a brief narratve, your thoughts on each scenario.
