Economists have estimated that in the United States, the short-run demand curve for gasoline is given by Q=1.65−0.05P, where Q is quantity demanded (e.g., in millions of gallons per day) and P is the price per gallon. a) Calculate the short-run price elasticity of demand for gasoline at the current price of P=$3 per gallon. Provide a precise interpretation of this elasticity value. b) Economists estimate the long-run price elasticity of demand for gasoline in the United States to be approximately εp,q=−0.91.
