Discuss this issue in relation to the concept of Elasticity of Demand. Also, why is the Government always imposing more and more sin taxes on alcohol and cigarettes? Is the Government so concerned about our sins when we consume these demerit goods?arrow_forwardQ53 Many people argue that the imposition of tariffs in industry X will increase factor incomes in that industry and therefore be good for the country as a whole.
