As a step to solve this problem‚ the use or addition of biofuels to gasoline‚ which reduces emission of carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons that form smog‚ has widely been enforced in recent years (Wyman‚ 1994). In this regard‚ India reforms are taken by blending 10 to 15% ethanol in its gasoline usages.

Why the tepid response to higher gasoline prices? Most studies report that when US. gas prices rise by 10 percent‚ the quantity purchased falls by 1 to 2 percent. In September 2005‚ the retail gasoline price was $2.90 a gallon‚ about $1.00 higher than in September 2004‚ but purchases of gasoline fell by only 35 percent.

1a) Explain how the different features of monopolistic competition and oligopoly affect price and output determination in these market structures. Both monopolistic competition (MPC) and oligopoly generally determine price and output based on the profit-maximising condition that marginal cost (MC) equals to marginal revenue (MR). Due to the different features of both monopolistic competition and oligopoly such as the barriers to entry (BTE)‚ which affects the number of sellers as well as market

But‚ the economic impacts of oil spills are not much talked about as the environmental impacts are. Gasoline prices in the United States for citizens at some point in our recent history have been up to almost five dollars per gallon. The change in gas prices may bring about a change in the risks people are willing to take both on the stock market and in

The four determinants of elasticity are‚ substitutes‚ percentage of income spent on item‚ luxury vs. necessitates‚ and emergency vs. time. Substitutes are inelastic when there is no subside for the product‚ and also elastic when there is many substitutes of the product. An example of a inelastic substitute is going the a football stadium and

Reacting to America’s support of Israel‚ Arab (OPEC) nations in the Middle East restrict oil exports to the U.S. As a result‚ a decrease in the oil supply caused gasoline prices to quadruple. As America attempted to promote alternative energy sources‚ oil companies expanded their search for offshore oil. Approximately 25%
