How does a sugar tax that increases the final price of non-alcoholic beverages with sugar address the problem? Using the concept of price elasticity of demand, is a tax on non-alcoholic beverages with sugar the best way of addressing the problem?
If you estimate a price elasticity of demand equal to 1.25 (negative sign is implied), do consumers orproducers shoulder more of a tax on the relevant good? Explain briefly.
What happens when supply is more elastic than demand; and vice versa?
