What is the elasticity of demand for cigarettes


Problem

Keeler et al. (2004) estimate that, when the U.S. Tobacco Settlement between major tobacco companies and 46 states caused the price of cigarettes to jump by 21% (45¢ per pack), overall per capita cigarette consumption fell by 8.3%. What is the elasticity of demand for cigarettes? Is overall cigarette demand elastic or inelastic?

The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
