1.The calculated own price elasticity of demand for salt is -0.1, whereas, the elasticity for fresh green peas is Why is salt more inelastic than fresh green peas? 2.The short-run and long-run own price elasticities for gasoline are -0.2 and Why the difference? Test Yourself

1.The calculated own price elasticity of demand for salt is -0.1, whereas, the elasticity for fresh green peas is Why is the salt elasticity more inelastic than fresh green peas? 2.The short-run and long-run own price elasticities for gasoline are -0.2 and Why the difference? Test Yourself 1.Salt has fewer substitutes, is required to live, and is a very small percentage of total income. 2.Long-run elasticities are more elastic as consumers have time to adjust their consumption bundles.
