You are a planner for the country
represented above. The income elasticity of demand for rice is
0.8.:
Is this likely a relatively wealthy or relatively poor country?
Why?
Use the information above and the homogeneity condition to
determine the necessary percentage change in the price of rice that
will raise the consumption of rice by 5%.
If rice...
