7. Suppose the market for thick, heavy, hot wool socks is perfectly competitive and in long
run equilibrium. Suppose the greenhouse effect kicks in with
a vengeance raising average temperatures all over the planet.
In the short run you predict:
- higher prices and greater output of wool socks.
- increased profits for wool sock firms.
- lower prices, lower quantities and higher profits for wool sock
firms.
- lower prices, lower quantities and losses for wool sock firms.
- lower prices, lower quantities and zero profits for wool sock
firms.
