Answer to Question 1

Products in the jeans market are not identical (at least not in the consumers' eyes). The fact that there is only one manufacturer per brand gives that particular firm (limited) power over the price of its product. Thus, two conditions for the use of the model are not fulfilled.

Answer to Question 2

False. If more people major in economics, and the demand for economists does not change, the wages of economists will be expected to decline in the future as the supply of economists increases.
