Answer:

c. producers

Explanation:

Since it is given in the question that the price elasticity of demand is relatively elastic but the price elastic of supply is relatively inelastic but if the excise tax is imposed on the goods so the greater burden of the tax would be on the producers as the supply is inelastic so the producers could not changed much but if we compare to the consumers, the consumer could change the demand more than before due to the elastic in demand.

Answer:

<u>Mistake of ignoring secondary effects</u>

Explanation:

Whenever there arises an adverse impact of a policy and it's implementation, owing to ignorance of secondary consequences, it is termed as ignoring secondary effects.

In short, it refers to assessing and viewing only the positive aspects of a policy or a move, meanwhile not taking into consideration the other adverse consequences which are also associated with the same policy.

In the given case, the environmentalists have only considered the generation of alternative sources of energy via windmills which will lead to preservation of fossil fuels. The proposed policy has been implemented without taking into account it's flip side i.e the harm it causes to bat population and migratory birds.

Thus, it can be stated that the environmentalists herein only considered the favorable outcome of a policy implementation and ignored the adverse effect of the same. Hence, they are said to have committed the mistake of ignoring the secondary effects.

counter this, then the actual price level will be below the price level that people expected.
Individuals will eventually correct their expectations of the price level. As they do so, prices and
wages will adjust accordingly, shifting the aggregate supply curve to the right (down). For example
if wages are sticky, in light of the lower price level, firms and workers will eventually make bargains
for lower nominal wages. The reduction in wages lowers costs of production, so firms are willing to
