If certain jurisdictions ban the use of skateboards on city streets and parks, how would the demand curve and/or the supply curve for skateboards be affected? What would be the impact on the equilibrium price and quantity of skateboards? It is argued that the demand for flu shots is almost perfectly inelastic. (Supply is much more elastic.)
