Application 1: Scarcity/Incentives Incentives to Buy Hybrid Vehicles As stated in the text, "rational people respond to incentives." I find this to be a very true statement. When the tradeoff or benefit from something else changes, people tend to change their behavior to get that certain benefit. The Number of hybrid cars that has been increased from 10,000 cars in 2000 to more than 340,000 in 2007, can be explained by this application. Increase in gas prices along with federal subsidy encouraged people to buy more hybrid cars by reducing cost of driving and cost of hybrid cars.

People take decisions by comparing cost and benefit, so they always respond to incentives. The location of new business depends upon market factors. Some business must be located in urban areas so as to be close to market for raw materials and to sell finished goods. In such cases the cost and benefits are measured. If the benefits of locating in an urban area exceed the cost of cleaning up brownfields then industries do clean up before setting up their unit and set up in urban areas. While if the cost of cleaning is much higher than rural or suburban areas are targeted to cut down on cleaning costs. People respond as per market incentives of maximizing profits.

Application 1: Scarcity/Incentives
Incentives to Buy Hybrid Vehicles
As stated in the text, "rational people respond to incentives." I find this to be a very true statement. When
the tradeoff or benefit from something else changes, people tend to change their behavior to get that
certain benefit. The Number of hybrid cars that has been increased from 10,000 cars in 2000 to more than
340,000 in 2007, can be explained by this application. Increase in gas prices along with federal subsidy
encouraged people to buy more hybrid cars by reducing cost of driving and cost of hybrid cars. As, Subsidy
was the main reason behind 1/5 the sale of 2007, which is estimated so far. Incentives refer to something
that induces a person to act accordingly. People take decisions by comparing cost and benefit, so they
always respond to incentives. The location of new business depends upon market factors. Some business
must be located in urban areas so as to be close to market for raw materials and to sell finished goods. In
such cases the cost and benefits are measured. If the benefits of locating in an urban area exceed the cost
of cleaning up brownfields then industries do clean up before setting up their unit and set up in urban
areas. While if the cost of cleaning is much higher than rural or suburban areas are targeted to cut down on
cleaning costs. People respond as per market incentives of maximizing profits.
