Exercise 4 The government has imposed a new tax on all airline travel. The market has two types of travelers: business and leisure. Business travelers have a price elasticity of demand of -1.2, leisure travelers have a price elasticity of demand equal to -3.0. Airlines can price discriminate between these two groups (i.e. charge different prices to each type). Which type of traveler will bear the larger burden of the tax. Explain.
3. The government of a small country needs to raise money to fund school improvements. It is considering implementing a tax on rice to raise money. (a) Using a supply and demand diagram, explain why the tax will cause a deadweight loss. (b) Rice is an important part of its citizens' diet and has a demand elasticity of –0.2. Cars are a luxury good and have a demand elasticity of –3. Assume both rice and cars are imported into the country so supply is perfectly elastic. Which tax will cause a greater deadweight loss? Explain why using economic arguments. Which good do you think the government should tax? Why? Your explanation can incorporate whatever reasons you think are important.
