another 0.9 million barrels per day in 2013. Price Elasticity of Demand for Gasoline A meta-analysis by Molly Espey, published in Energy Journal. Espey examined 101 different studies and found that in the short-run (defined as 1 year or less), the average price-elasticity of demand for gasoline is -0.26. That is, a 10% hike in the price of gasoline lowers quantity demanded by 2.6%. In the long-run (defined as longer than 1 year), the price elasticity of demand is -0.58; a 10% hike in gasoline causes

products because the price of razors has an inverse correlation with the demand for shaving cream. When the price of razors rises, the demand for shaving cream will decrease. Since the products are complements, this is known as cross elasticity. Cross elasticity occurs when the increased cost of one product

in relation to our products. We are also going to determine our demand and supply curve to further our knowledge for more accurate forecasting. Elasticity for Independent Variables We wanted to see how elastic the demand for our product is by using data from 26 supermarkets around the country for the month of April. When referring to the elasticity of demand we are trying to determine if prices changes to our product will help us to sell more of our dinners. To do this we used a regression
