Government Intervention- Micro Topic 2.8

Jacob Clifford uses a chicken murder mystery to explain economic concepts like price controls, subsidies, and taxes. The video discusses how government interventions, such as price ceilings and floors, can lead to unintended consequences like shortages and surpluses. It also covers the impact of subsidies and taxes on market equilibrium, consumer and producer surplus, and deadweight loss. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding these concepts in microeconomics and encourages students to practice calculations and graphing.
