What is the usual result of price controls?
Price controls, such as price ceilings and price floors, often lead to market distortions. Price ceilings can create shortages, as the controlled price may discourage production while increasing demand. Conversely, price floors can result in surpluses, as the higher price may encourage production but reduce consumer demand. Overall, price controls can lead to inefficiencies and unintended consequences in the market.
Why are price floors and price ceilings posed?
if the market price imposed by suppliers are too high for consumers then the price ceilings are imposed....if the market price is too low for the producers then price floors is imposed.
What is the impact on the economy if price ceiling or price floor were removed?
Price ceiling is government rules or laws setting price floors or ceilings that forbid the adjustment of price to clear markets. Price ceilings make it illegal for sellers to charge more than a specific maximum price. ceilings may be introduced when a shortage of a commodity threatens to raise its price a lot.
Do price ceilings misallocate resources?
yes

What do economists mean when they say that price floors and ceilings stifle the rationing function of prices and distort resource allocation?
When economist says price floors means above equilibrium and leads to undermanned surplus. When they say price ceilings it means price below equilibrium which leads to unsupplied shortage.
Where do price ceilings tend to lead to?
Price ceilings tend to lead to shortages in the market, as they set a maximum price that is often below the equilibrium price. This can result in increased demand for the product while simultaneously decreasing the incentive for producers to supply it, leading to an imbalance. Additionally, price ceilings can encourage black markets, as consumers may seek alternatives when legal supply is insufficient. Overall, they can distort market mechanisms and lead to inefficient allocation of resources.
Do producers tend to favor price floors or price ceilings?
price floors because, when binding, price floors increase price above the equilibrium and may increase producer surplus.
The government can prevent the shortages that accompany price ceilings by doing what?
Ration
How does price ceilings affect supply and demand?
A price ceiling prevents a price from rising above the ceiling. It represents an upper limit on the price of something. If wheat has a price ceiling of $400 per metric tonne, $400 is the highest amount any what supplier can charge. If the market price for wheat is below the ceiling, say $200 in this example, then the ceiling has no effect on prices; the ceiling is not binding. If the market price is higher than the ceiling, supply and demand cannot reach equilibrium and there is a shortage in the commodity. Artificially low prices result in demand that exceeds supply. The price, however, remains stuck at the ceiling.
