On April 26 2020, Domenico Arcuri, special commissioner for the coronavirus emergency, announced that surgical face masks must be sold at a fixed price of 50 European cents plus tax. A good mask used to cost as little as 10 European cents, but prices surged after Covid-19. The Civil Protection Department, Italy's national body that deals with emergencies, promptly discouraged entrepreneurs from importing masks, right as more masks were needed. No one was allowed to import masks and sell them to the highest bidder. Now, there is a government set price and a shortage of masks and many pharmacists have stopped selling masks. Far from learning its lesson, the Italian government has suggested it will repeat its price-fixing mistakes by setting the price of N95 masks. The results won't be any better.arrow_forwardOver the past few year's consumer tastes and the number of buyers in the market for a game called 'pickle ball' have increased dramatically. Thus, the demand for tickets to pickle ball events has increased. Before this all started the equilibrium price of a ticket to a pickle ball event was negative. This means that: A few years ago, there would have been a surplus of tickets even at a price of zero, now the invisible hand has pushed prices to greater than zero. A) A few years ago, the quantity of tickets demanded was less than quantity supplied. B) Pickle ball event tickets resembled the market for recyclable cardboard a few years ago C) Greater demand for pickle ball tournament tickets will lead to a greater demand - and higher pay - for professional pickle ball players.
