Freshman enrollment declined from 1 comma 425 in fall 2005 to 1 comma 130 in fall 2006. Assuming that the demand curve for places in the freshmen class at Pace did not shift between 2005 and 2006, use this information to calculate the price elasticity of demand. Source: Karen W. Arenson, "At Universities, Plum Post at Top Is Now Shaky," New York Times, January 9, 2007. The price elasticity of demand for Pace University for the Fall of 2006 is 1.44.
