In a free, competitive market, what is the rationing mechanism?

Price

The imposition of a binding price ceiling on a market causes

Quantity demanded to be greater than quantity supplied

Rent control policies tend to cause

Relatively smaller shortages in the short run than in the long run because supply and demand tends to be more inelastic in the short run than in the long run

If a price floor is a binding constraint on a market, then

Sellers cannot sell all they want to sell at the price floor

The minimum wage has its greatest impact on the market for

Teenage labor

Producer surplus directly measures

The well-being of sellers

In the short run, rent control causes the quantity supplied

To fall and quantity demanded to rise

An outcome that can result from either a price ceiling or a price floor is

Undesirable rationing mechanisms

The Earned Income Tax Credit is an example of a

Wage subsidy

As rationing mechanisms, prices

are efficient, but long lines are inefficient
