The corrected own-price elasticity of quantity … demand is just -0.2 to -0.3, so tax-induced soda price increases might cut average weights by less than one pound, which is …

This paper examines the relationship between product demand and the pattern of rising skill premia and rising … employment of skilled workers in the US and the UK since the 1980s. If more skilled workers demand more skill-intensive goods …, then an increase in relative skill supply will also induce a shift in relative skill demand. This channel reduces the need …

This paper analyzes how gasoline tax rates are related to the time workers in the United States spend commuting by …-state differences and time variations in gasoline taxes. Using the American Time Use Surveys for the years 2003 to 2015, we find that … higher gasoline tax rates are related with less time spent in commuting. Furthermore, higher gasoline taxes are related to a …

labor demand shocks to the industry. The employment of real estate agents, whose pay is far more flexible than the other … occupations, indeed reacts less to the cycle than employment in the other occupations. However, unless labor demand elasticities … employment fluctuations in response to demand shocks by more than 10 to 20 percent compared to completely rigid wages. …
