Price Controls 11/30

Outcomes of Price Ceilings
1. Reduced availability of good; harder to get! -> Shortages
2. Lower quality goods
3. Development of Black markets
4. Misallocations
5. Other neighborhoods face higher demand and higher prices
6. Lack of fairness
7. Discrimination since there is a lower cost of being discriminatory
8. Costs of enforcement
