Answer:
C. A situation where no economic agent would benefit by changing his or her behavior
Explanation:
An economic equilibrium is when the agents are optimizing their decisions and opposing market forces are equal. This point allows the economic agents to maximize their utility and any change from this point will cause all agents to move away from potential maximum benefits.
In a natural equilibrium there is usually no government intervention so option A is false. Option B gives only one agent potential benefits and as such there is no equilibrium. Option D is conditional and may or may not happen as when the agents find missing information they would optimize again and move to an equilibrium.
Hope that helps.
Answer:
moral hazard
Explanation:
Banks reduce the risk of moral hazard when they monitor and supervise how their clients are using the loans and credits made to them.
Some types of credits do not require any type of monitoring or control, e.g. a credit card which a client can use basically however he/she wants to. But other types of credit that are taken for purchasing assets, e.g. a mortgage, must be used by the bank's client to specifically carryout the intended activity.
In economics, moral hazard refers to the tendency that an economic party can engage in unusually risky activities because the capital (money) that they are investing is not theirs and the negative effects of a potential loss will be suffered most by other parties.
Answer:
Jobs argument
Explanation:
-The national-security argument states that some industries have to be protected by imposing tariffs to maintain the local production in case of a war.
-The unfair-competition argument says that the domestic market has to be protected when there is unfair competition because companies from other countries are subject to different regulations.
-Using-protection-as-a-bargaining-chip argument states that the threat of imposing a restriction can help to eliminate a restriction that was imposed by another country.
-Infant-industry argument says that new industries have to be protected because they don't have economies of scales that their competitors from others countries have.
-The jobs argument claims that the trade with other countries eliminates the local jobs.
According to this, the answer is that the senator is using the jobs argument to argue for the trade restriction on steel rods because he claims that it is necessary to impose those restrictions to protect the workers from losing their jobs.
