2- Why, in general, do shocks force people to make changes? Give a least two examples from your own experiences

3- Do prices tend to become more or less flexible as time passes? If there is a trend, how does it affect macroeconomics?

The mechanism for equilibrium pricing is a function of the demand and supply dynamics of the marketplace. An increase or decrease in demand where supply is fixed will result in changes in the equilibrium pricing. Equilibrium prices can shift dramatically, but over the long-term, they tend to be relatively stable and only rising or falling within an acceptable range. These price fluctuations generally would not disrupt the business plan of a product or service producer. Assume that demand remains unchanged.

(A). What economic forces affect changes in demand?
