The impacts of a minimum wage depend heavily on the labor demand elasticity. Suppose a labor market looks like the example from class but has a smaller demand elasticity: `eta=-0.5`. Other variables are the same: initial wage = $12, initial Q = 10,000, labor supply elasticity `eta_S = +0.5`, and the proposed minimum wage = $15.
