Assignment:

In this question you are asked to look for some real-life elasticity estimates. They could be about quantity or about non-quantity measures. It does not matter which one you choose; just look for what you find interesting. Needless to say, the examples that were discussed in the last Comprehension Assessment of this module cannot be used for this purpose.

Regardless of what you find, your response should fully answer the following questions:

  • What does the reported elasticity measure? Offer a concise and clear definition.
  • What is the numerical estimate for this elasticity?
  • What does the numerical estimate imply?
  • Do you find it intuitive or counterintuitive?
  • What is the resource from which you obtain this estimate?
  • Did anyone else report the same elasticity from the same resource? List their names.
