\nQuestion
\nApplication: Price Adjustment Policies
\nPrice adjustment policies are designed to influence shoppers and essentially
\nprevent the market from reaching equilibrium. For example, the airline industry
\nroutinely accepted more reservations than seats available and until the late 1970s
\nfollowed the first-come, first-served policy. In other words, passengers were
\nallowed to board the airplane on a first-come, first-served basis. This policy was
\nreplaced with a policy to compensate volunteers with cash or free tickets for giving
\nup their seats on overbooked flights. In this assignment, you will explore the pros
\nand cons of both policies from an economic perspective.
\nDo you believe that compensating volunteers for relinquishing their seats on
\noverbooked flights is more efficient than a policy of first-come, first-served? Why
\nor why not? Argue from an economic perspective, making specific references to
\nthis week’s readings.
