Another active learning strategy brought
to the heaps cool economics students at
wellington college by the douceinator
Instructions
1. stand behind your desk
2.challenges will be shown on the screen
3.answer by following instructions
4.if your answer is incorrect sit down
5.challenges are repeated until there is
only one student remaining
6.the last person remaining standing is the
class survivor

price elasticity of demand, the change in
quantity demanded is on the:

when the price elasticity of demand
coefficient is greater than one, demand is

at high prices, price elasticity of demand
tends to be more

If a firms Total Revenue falls after they
increase the price of their product, the

The government will raise more revenue
is they put a sales tax on goods that are:

The incidence of a sales tax on an
inelastic product falls more heavily on

The following are characteristics of what
kind of elasticity:

If the response to a given change in price
is a less than proportionate change in
quantity demanded, then the products
demand is

If the cross elasticity of demand
coefficient is negative, then the two goods
are
HAND UP
HAND DOWN
complements
substitutes
if your hand is down
YOU HAVE BEEN VOTED OFF
sit down
If two goods are substitutes and the
price of one good goes up, the demand
for the other good will
HAND UP
HAND DOWN
shift left
shift right
if your hand is up
YOU HAVE BEEN VOTED OFF
sit down
Quantity demanded of one product falls
and this causes the demand curve for
another product to shift left. The cross
elasticity of demand coefficient must be
HAND UP
HAND DOWN
negative
positive
if your hand is down
YOU HAVE BEEN VOTED OFF
sit down
which of the following are likely to have
a negative cross elasticity of demand?
HAND UP

If the income elasticity of demand
coefficient for a good is negative, then
the good is an

If quantity demanded and income
changes are in the same direction, then
the good is

coefficient for a good is greater than one,
then the good is a

if demand is elastic, the greater
incidence of a sales tax falls on the
HAND UP

If a good has inelastic demand, and the
government introduces a subsidy, then
the greater incidence falls on the
