Rent Control and Elasticity Consider the effects of rent control in two cities, each of which imposes rent control with a maximum price of $400, compared to an equilibrium price of $500. In Elastic City, the price elasticity of supply of housing is 5.0. In Rigid City, the supply elasticity is 0.40. a

Consider a city that imposes a new pollution tax that increases the average cost (and price) of the good produced by a polluting industry by 4 percent and improves the citys environmental quality by 20 percent. The price elasticity of demand for the citys export goods is -1.50. a. The total output of
