However, recent research discussed in the August 25, 2022 issue of The Economist, indicates that while the responsiveness of quantity demanded in response to price changes indeed is “inelastic” (i.e., the absolute value of price elasticity of demand is still less than 1), the percentage change in quantity demanded in response to a change in price is much larger than earlier research indicated.
