To determine

The effect of an increased demand for digital taxi apps and non-taxi transportation services on the prices of the New York City taxi medallions.

Introduction:

Law of Demand- The law establishes an inverse relationship between the demand for a commodity and its price keeping all other variables constant.

Price elasticity- Price elasticity of demand is the percentage change in demand with a percentage change in the price.

Price elasticity and substitutes-For a given good/service, the higher the number of substitutes the higher the elasticity of demand. If there are more substitutes for a good X, an increase in its price will decrease the demand significantly.

The demand and supply analysis- Supply responds to demand in the long run. As the demand for a good/service in a market rises, the producers increase its supply to reap profits from the buyers increased willingness to pay and increase the producers surplus.

Taxi Medallions- It is a transferable permit in the United States allowing a taxi driver to operate.
