Consider a state with a fixed prison capacity of 1,000. When a law is passed establishing a minimum term of 10 years, (twice the current average term), the state cuts the number of prisoners in half, cutting the probability of imprison- ment for crime in half. Use a graph like Figure 133 to illustrat

Rent Control and Elasticity Consider the effects of rent control in two cities, each of which imposes rent control with a maximum price of $400, compared to an equilibrium price of $500. In Elastic City, the price elasticity of supply of housing is 5.0. In Rigid City, the supply elasticity is 0.40. a
