ELASTICITY ESTIMATES 
This section discusses elasticity estimates. Parties were encouraged to comment on 
these estimates in their prehearing or posthearing brief; none suggested any revisions. 
U.S. supply elasticity 
The domestic supply elasticity 42  for quartz surface products measures the sensitivity of 
the quantity supplied by U.S. producers to changes in the U.S. market price of quartz surface 
products. The elasticity of domestic supply depends on several factors including the level of  

42
 A supply function is not defined in the case of a non‐competitive market.
