Answer to Question 1

Over time, demand for most goods rises, as populations increase (as well as for other reasons). The graph should show an increase in demand, given a constant quota amount. Since the quota does not change, the effect of the quota will be to raise price even more than previously. This increases the size of the deadweight loss due to underconsumption of the good and increase the deadweight loss due to domestic overproduction.
