Yes, the CEO of Mbeya Cement Company should listen to the Chief Economist. The Chief Economist is likely familiar with the company's cost structure and the economics of the industry, and is likely in the best position to advise the CEO on how to maximize profits. If the company increases output and prices rise, the marginal cost of production will increase, resulting in a larger loss. Therefore, the Chief Economist's advice should be taken into consideration.
