Elasticity

while the increasing share of direct taxes on wages in households’ overall tax burden made the system slightly more progressive. The one major tax change that was regressive was the increase in taxes on kerosene, a product with a very low income elasticity of demand. Despite this conclusion, we do find that the burden of taxes in Madagascar shifted toward the poor. This was not due to changes in tax policy, but rather to a shift in the pattern of consumption of the poor out of lightly taxed food and

Business houses, such as Nomura (2009) argue that there is a kink in consumer demand curves around USD6000 per capita. Above this level, the income elasticity for items like consumer durables as well as for services like insurance 5 rises well above one. This remains the case until income levels surpass USD25000 . At that point, the income elasticity drops again. Murphy, Shleifer and Vishny (1989) formalize this argument6. In their paper, industrialisation has fixed costs. Because international trade

to flatten demand and the booking patterns. On top of that the demand for tourism products is mainly inelastic which means that as prices, demand will tend to drop and as prices fall, demand will tend to increase. Packaged holidays have a price elasticity of demand of 4.5 which means that a change in price would bring about a proportional four and half times greater change in demand. In the case of the holiday packages, lower prices give more revenue than higher prices, as the area of the rectangle

la courbature est prononcée, plus les biens sont complémentaires plutôt que substituts. Si la courbe d'indifférence est relativement «plate», on parlera de haut degré de substituabilité : Chetty estimera des fonctions d'utilité CES (constant elasticity of substitution) entre des actifs financiers pour calculer la courbature des courbes d'indifférence entre ces actifs. Par exemple, pour calculer la substituabilité entre M1 et les dépôts à terme (TD), il partira de la fonction d'utilité CES suivante

the robust Bayesian technique. Finally, the coefficient and more importantly the error-term estimates obtained from specifications 4 and 5 are quite different from the ones of the first three specifications. This is a first indication that inference on elasticity of inputs and outputs is affected considerably by the inclusion of an allocative inefficiency term and that models without an allocative inefficiency term bias the overall economic efficiency estimates. In other words, allocative inefficiency is probably

of the model. We stress the importance of assumptions about utility and production functions, on one hand, and the indexation of unemployment subsidies, on the other hand. Depending on these assumptions, the WS curve may have a finite or infinite elasticity, a fact which dramatically alters the properties of the equilibrium unemployment rate. In particular this rate may or may not depend on the interest rate. We also clarify the dynamics of the model. Lastly, we show how this type of framework may

the difference between the product of labour on ‘marginal’ land and the product on average land, or (allowing for the intensive, as well as the extensive, margin) the difference between average and marginal labour productivity which depends on the elasticity of the p-Ap curve, i.e., the extent to which diminishing returns operate. The marginal product of labour (or, in classical parlance, the ‘produce-minus-rent’) is not however equal to the wage, but to the sum of wages and profits. The rate of wages
