Brian Verdugo

I explain how supply and demand affect prices and quantities in markets such as orange juice, gasoline, hotel rooms, minivans, computers, ketchup, and pizza.

I connect weather, wars, input costs, technology, income, population changes, and related goods to shifts in supply and demand curves.

I use equilibrium concepts to explain shortages, surpluses, and market adjustments when prices move above or below equilibrium.

I'm focused on applying economic reasoning to real-world market changes.
