Discussion<\/p>\n
With less than ten days remaining, assume you are the manager of one of the three campaigns (Democrat, Republican, or independent). You realize that your resources are limited and want to know the five states and five congressional districts you should put more resources in and the five states and five congressional districts where you should avoid spending your time and resources. As a diligent Regis University economics student, you realize you could use the FiveThirtyEight elasticity scores. And you quickly pull up the elasticities below. Though they are for 2018, you decide to use them as guidelines. Answer the following questions.<\/p>\n
What is the definition of FiveThirtyEight Elasticity scores?
\nHow can you use them to allocate your resources?
\nChoose the five states and, using the elasticity scores decide whether you should put more effort into changing the political environment and why. Also, discuss the states you would not put effort into and why.
\nHow do these elasticities relate to the class material?<\/p>\n
