Would you usually expect elasticity of demand or supply to be higher in the short run or in the long run? Why?
Describe how the elasticity of demand behaves in the long run?
As the time frame shifts from the short run to the long run, what happens in the market for milk with a binding price floor when the surplus is bought up by government?
A) Dairy farmers are increasingly willing ot substitute toward producing more milk, and the supply curve for milk becomes more elastic
B) Dairy farmers are increasingly willing to substitute away from producing milk, and the supply curve of milk becomes less elastic
C) There are no changes, and the elasticity of supply for milk remains unchanged.
D) dairy farmers are less willing to substitute away from producing the good, and the supply curve becomes more elastic
E) the predicted losses for dairy farmers will eventually cause many farmers to go out of business and the supply curve shifts to the left and become less elastic
