  3. Price elasticity of demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_elasticity_of_demand

    A good's price elasticity of demand (, PED) is a measure of how sensitive the quantity demanded is to its price. When the price rises, quantity demanded falls for almost any good (law of demand), but it falls more for some than for others. The price elasticity gives the percentage change in quantity demanded when there is a one percent increase ...

    The personalized price-vector p i can be interpreted as the Lindahl tax on agent i.

    Assume a market for nails where the cost of each nail is $0.10. Demand decreases linearly; there is a high demand for free nails and zero demand for nails at a price per nail of $1.10 or higher. The price of $0.10 per nail represents the point of economic equilibrium in a competitive market.
