math.ucr.eduThe price elasticity of demand (which is often shortened to demand elasticity) is defined to be the percentage change in quantity demanded, q, divided by the percentage change in price, p. The formula for the demand elasticity (ǫ) is: ǫ = p q dq dp. Note that the law of demand implies that dq/dp < 0, and so ǫ will be a negative number.

The roughly 50 percent cut in the labor supply of Palestinian com-muters increased their real wage by about 50 percent, implying that the demand elasticity for Palestinian com-
