PED of gasoline - 1 views

economics.about.com/...gasoline_elast.htm PED price elasticity demand gasoline
shared by Zuzanna G on 19 Oct 13 - Cached
  • Zuzanna G on 19 Oct 13
     
    This article smoothly discusses the PED of gasoline. It's worth reading because it examines it clearly and quite precisely - e.g. taking into consideration time. It shows that gas is an inelastic good, due to the fact that it's really necessary and commonly used. This text ends with a nice conclusion stating that one's never fully sure about the changes in economy.

    This article is simply about troubles with an alternative to one of the most worrying scarce resources - fossil fuels. Will we eventually have to find something else?
  • Zuzanna G on 16 Sep 13
     
    Yes indeed, you're right. I believe this is one of the most important factors among markets; in fact transport rests on it. Well, we still have some time and I'm full of hope scientists will strike a happy medium :)
