What is Short run and long run price elasticity of demand?
is the long run elasticity of demand is ever smaller than the short run elasticity of demand.
Would you expect the price elasticity of demand for electricity for residential use in India to be higher or lower in the short run as compared with the long run?
Both.
Why are both the price elasticity of demand and the price elasticity of supply likely to be greater in the long run?
In the long run, manufacturers and producers can respond to consumer demand by analyzing trends that develop over time. Short-term, this is less practical because adjustments often cannot be made quickly enough to accommodate changes.
What is Short run AND long run demand?
why do not give answers

Is a firm's demand for labor curve is more elastic in the short run than in the long run?
No. It's more elastic in the long run than the short run.
What are three applications of supply demand and elasticity?
Most economists agree on the application of supply, demand & elasticity. Here three examples of these factors in the world of economics: A. The demand for food is for the most part "inelastic" because food is inexpensive and a necessity. Concurrent with new technologies in agriculture, this has ironically has reduced total revenue paid to the farming sector; B. Oil as an example. In the 1970's OPEC reduced the supply of oil in order raise its price. Yes, in the short run, the demand for this product ( never a cheap one as agriculture above ) tended to be inelastic as consumers were pressed to find substitutes. As expected, the decrease of this essential commodity raised prices & profits for OPEC. Long term, however, more fuel efficient automobiles and other sources of energy such as increased gas & oil production caused the oil demand towards elasticity, inducing producers to search for more oil causing this commodity to become more elastic. Thus the short term run up in prices did not carry into the long run. Result: back to normalcy. C. Illegal drug market. The short term demand for additive drugs is relatively inelastic. Government policies & practices dove tail to enhance the climb in price for drugs. Yet consumption, based on addiction, remains level and revenue paid by users increases. This places pressure on users to increase their own revenues and perhaps causes crime rates to rise to fund their addictions. Studies however show that long term drug usage must level out. The price in this example reduces demand and we see elasticity. Law enforcement, price reduce demand which reduces total revenue, and this industry flattens out. The above examples enable the economist to analyze important events and policies that shape the economy.
Why do army leaders set priorities and weigh competing demand on their subordinates?
To address short and long term goals.
Would the demand tend to be more or less elastic for consumers time horizon?
Generally, product demand is more elastic the longer the time period under consideration. Consumers often need time to adjust to changes in prices. (McConnell & Brue p.346) "Short run" demand (like buying items at an auction) is more inelastic than is "long run" demand ( like shopping at your favorite department stores) where you can have "time to think about it". Price elasticity of demand is greater...(d) the longer the time period involved (348). Economics: principles, problems, and policies / Campbell R. McConnell, Stanley L. Brue.-17th ed. don't tell, RES
