Long run demand elasticity for almonds

Reference no: EM13104996

Researchers have estimated the long run demand elasticity for almonds is -0.47, and the long run supply elasticity is 12.0. The short run demand elasticity for almonds is -0.30, and the short run supply elasticity is 0.5. The government is considering a tax on almonds. What share will be paid by the consumer in the long run? How about the short run? Provide some intuition for why these are different.
