Although the price of quinoa in 2017 had fallen to 2013 levels, the Peruvian and Bolivian governments are somewhat concerned that the price of quinoa could dramatically rise in the near future. As such, both governments have appointed you as their economic advisor and have been tasked to write up a document which addresses the following:
• Background overview of the quinoa market in Peru and/or Bolivia. (You may cover one country or both)
• Analyse the events that led to the rise and fall of quinoa price. You are expected to produce relevant diagrams to help in your explanations, which reflects these changes and outcomes.
• Critically discuss the 2013 impact on the economic welfare of both local consumers and producers. (Hint: what is economic welfare?).
• In anticipation of a future rise in the price of quinoa, you are asked to consider and discuss two economic policies that may curb this price rise. When analysing, also consider the impact on the economic welfare of consumers and producers.
While it is relevant to consider social and normative issues, your essay should focus on economic analysis and should address such aspects as consumer and producer welfare, efficiency, functions of market and government intervention amongst other things. In preparing for this essay you should read as widely as possible. As a first step you should read Chapters 1 – 7 of your text to get a good understanding of the relevant economic theories. Note also that although this is primarily a microeconomic case study, you are free to consider relevant macroeconomic theories/issues where appropriate.
