This questiоn hаs twо pаrts. It is bаsed оn what happened during the pandemic. To answer the questions, use the supply/demand framework. You do NOT need to draw any diagrams; instead explain your answer describing what happens to the supply and demand curves and the equilibrium price and quantity. To get full credit you MUST tell what happens to the supply and demand curves. In 2020, many more people decided to renovate their homes. This renovation often required plywood. Also during the same time, many of the companies producing plywood closed because of government regulations.  1)  Explain how the pandemic affected the market for plywood in the short run (that is, suppose that the ONLY changes are those given in the problem, people's desire for renovation and the government regulations). Be sure to tell the effect on the equilibrium price and quantity of plywood. Next, suppose that in 2020 is was still the case that many more people decided to renovate their homes but now suppose there had been no government regulations closing the plants and that workers would have continued to work as normal.  2) Explain how the pandemic would now have affected the market for plywood. Again, look only at the short run (so again, suppose that the only factor that changes is people's desire for renovation). Be sure to tell the effect on the equilibrium price and quantity of plywood. .
