On August 30, 2016, Laura Dimon and Ginger Adams Otis wrote an article for The Daily News under the headline “Protesters gather in NYC to show outrage of skyrocketing EpiPen prices.” The article highlights a controversy that is ongoing as this is typed – the price of potentially life-saving EpiPens has increased fivefold in the decade since Mylan Pharmaceuticals acquired the product. One of the clear economic concepts that the EpiPen controversy demonstrates is elasticity of demand. As Guo (2012) points out discussing price elasticity of demand, the concept is simple. It is intuitive as well. When prices go up ...

Guo (2012) gives the explanation for the concept of price elasticity of demand. It is simple and, when you think of it, obvious. With a very few exceptions, price increases will drive demand down. Interestingly enough, the controversy over EpiPens in the news today provides a good example of price elasticity of demand.

The text of the novel is incredibly sincere and true due to the fact the writer himself has passed the World War I (Hemingway as his character served as a lieutenant in the Italian Red Cross corps). Military experience ...

In the winter prevalent nation, skiing is a sport as well as a leisure activity for many. This activity is favored by the snowy conditions, in particular on the continent of the extremes of the tropics.
