In the long run, people get enough time to get adjusted with the changes in prices than in the short run.
This allows them to make purchasing decisions very carefully by analysing the prices of all the substitutes of a good they wish to buy and ajust their demand accordingly by selecting a substitute with a least price.
But in short run, people are forced to take decisions quickly and randomly and they do not adjust to the price changes well.
Therefore in long run, people will have a Very elastic demand as they will switch to substitutes when the price of any good rises.
Hence, the long term elasticity of gasoline is higher than the short term elasticity.
The Long-Term elasticity of gasoline is higher than the Short-Term elasticity of gasoline. Why is this...
The Long-Term elasticity of gasoline is higher than the Short-Term elasticity of gasoline. Why is this the case?
The price elasticity of demand for gasoline is likely to be higher in the long run than in the short run. False True
Why do long term securities have a higher return than short term securities ?
The cost of long-term borrowing is usually higher than the cost of short-term borrowing. The graph that shows the relationship between maturity and interest rates for U.S. Government’s borrowings (Treasuries) is called “term structure of the interest rates” or “the yield curve”. Shape of the yield curve is often used by economists to forecast future status of the economy 1. Discuss why long-term rates are usually higher than short-term rates (upward yield curve) 2. Discuss under what economic conditions long-term...
Which of the following is NOT true: Yields on long-term bonds are always higher than short-term bonds. The yield curve charts the annual interest rates paid on bonds of various maturities. None of these. Investors compare the yields of securities of various maturities to understand the prospects for future market growth and inflation. The slope of the yield-curve reflects investor sentiment about the overall health of the economy.
13. Short-term versus long-term financing Generally speaking, short-term debt is riskier than long-term debt, but it also has some advantages. In the following table, identify which type of funding (short-term debt or long-term debt) is being described in each case. Short-term Debt Long-term Debt This loan has more covenants that restrict the firm's actions. This loan is more flexible and can be used to adapt to changing market conditions. The lender will insist on a more thorough financial examination before...
Why does my teachers notes say you get a higher return on a
long term security because they have higher interest rates than
short term securities but on the bottom section by the descending

than long term? Please explain again to me are interest rates
higher in inflation and lower in deflation

Why are agricultural prices highly variable? Does elasticity matter? Does a long term view differ from the short term? Describe elasticity and the typical assumptions made about the elasticity of agricultural production and food demand.
1. a) Assume the long run elasticity of demand for gasoline is -0.2 and start with the current California price of gasoline of $4.05 per gallon. How much would we need to increase the price in order to cut gasoline use in half in the long run? b) Explain in a few sentences why you would expect the short run effect of the tax to be much less. c) Suppose the income elasticity of demand for gasoline is 0.95. How...
5. In the short run, total costs of production are usually higher than in the long run. Why?
