The U.S. Tobacco Settlement between the major tobacco companies and 46 states caused the price of cigarettes to jump 45Cent (21%) in November 1998. Levy and Meara (2005) found only a 2.65% drop in prenatal smoking 15 months later. What is the elasticity of demand for this group? Would I take -2.65% and divide that by 21%?
