Please think of an example from everyday life of an event that caused either the supply or the demand for a product to increase or decrease (please only shift one curve). Please take the time to think of a straightforward (easy) example; it will work much better.
Once you have your example, please complete the following steps for your discussion post:
write a short description of the event explaining if it caused the supply curve OR the demand to shift and in which direction (increase or decrease)
explain how the shift affected the quantity and price in the market for the product.
draw a graph showing:
the original supply and demand curves
the original equilibrium point
the original quantity and price (q1 and p1 are fine – you don’t need to add real prices or quantities)
how the curve shifted (right or left)
the new equilibrium point
the new quantity and price (q2 and p2 are fine)
*don’t forget to label both axes
**Hand-drawn graphs are totally fine. Please just take a picture and upload it to the discussion board.
**Videos are also great if you want to upload one.
**Please don’t forget to post a thoughtful comment to at least one of your classmate’s posts.

Data exercise #3 Assignment
Consists of two parts.
Part 1: GDP in Different Countries (weight 45% of the assignment
grade) Complete the following exercise:
Go to World Development Indicators database:
https://databank.worldbank.org/home.aspx
Click on World Development Indicators.
a. Select 12 countries for your project by checking the check boxes under
Country, including USA, China, and Norway.
b. Select the 2 data series GDP (current US$) and Population (Total) under
Series.
c. Select the most recent year under Time where data required for this
exercise is available. Otherwise, you will get zero for this part of the
project.
d. Choose Layout on the upper left side of the screen. Under Orientation
choose “Page” for Time, “Column” for Series, “Row” for Country.
e. Retrieve data. You can now retrieve data by clicking on the options on the
right upper side of the window. Clicking “Table” will allow you to see data.
Click “Download options” and choose “Data on this page only –
formatted”. This option will allow you to download the data in Excel, which
can then be copied into your report file. Or you can simply type the
required data into the table below. Fill in the table below.
f. Present the table in your project.
g. Calculate the per capita GDP for the most recent available year for the
countries with the equation given in the far right column.
Country GDP Population Per Capita GDP
1 2 3 4 = 2/3
Write a short report in your own words (2 pages, double-spaced), which contains
the analysis of the results you received. In this report consider, but do not be
limited to the following:
1. List the countries by highest per capita GDP to lowest.
2. Does the order remain the same for total GDP as for per capita GDP?
3. If not, explain why is it different?
4. Please analyze and discuss the significance of this data that you received

Part 2: Index of Economic Freedom (weight 45% of the assignment
grade) Log onto the Heritage Foundation’s website at
https://www.heritage.org/index/
“Today, we live in the most prosperous time in human history. Poverty, sicknesses, and
ignorance are receding throughout the world, due in large part to the advance of
economic freedom. In 2023, the principles of economic freedom that have fueled this
monumental progress are once again measured in the Index of Economic Freedom, an
annual guide published by The Heritage Foundation, Washington’s No. 1 think tank.
For twenty-nine years the Index has delivered thoughtful analysis in a clear, friendly,
and straight-forward format. With new resources for users and a website tailored for
research and education, the Index of Economic Freedom is poised to help readers track
over two decades of the advancement in economic freedom, prosperity, and opportunity
and promote these ideas in their homes, schools, and communities.
The Index covers 12 freedoms – from property rights to financial freedom – in 184
countries.”
