Why there are price ceilings

persistent shortage of good, innefficency arising from this perstistent shortage in the form of inefficienctly low quantity, inefficent allocation of the good to consumers, resourecs wasted in searching for the good, and inefficently low qulality of the good offered for sale, the emergence of illegal black market activity, although they have ceertain affects, they do benefit some people in that they give a small minority of renters much cheaper housing tan they would get in an unregulated market. The people who benefit are better organized and more vocal than the ones who are harmed by them, ins ome instances.
