Increases; Ambiguous effect on equilibrium quantity
Explanation:
This situation states that the supply of hotel rooms decreases and the demand for hotel rooms increases due to the hurricane, so this change will shift both the supply curve and the demand curve in the hotel rooms market.
This will shift the supply curve leftwards and demand curve rightwards, therefore as a result, there is an increase in the equilibrium prices and the effect of this change on the equilibrium quantity is ambiguous because that will be dependent upon the magnitude of the shifts of demand and supply curve.
Answer:
C. A risk averse investor would choose the economy in which stock returns are independent because risk can be diversified away in a large portfolio.
Explanation:
if stock prices move together, (positive correlation), the volatility of the portfolio will be higher. Higher volatility means higher risk. This is the case with the first economy.
In the second economy however, the stocks are independent of each other meaning there is zero correlation between stocks and hence the portfolio volatility will be much lesser.
As a risk-averse investor you will prefer the portfolio with lower volatility for the same expected return.
