9 – Elasticity and Demand Demand and Elasticity Elasticity is a way to measure the responsiveness of a dependent variable to changes in an independent variable. Elasticity is defined as a ratio of the percentage change in a dependent variable to a percentage change in an independent variable. Elasticity ≡ percentage change of dependent variable Percentage change of independent variable When: Y = f(X) %ΔY E ≡ %ΔX Fal l ’05 © Reynolds 2005 Microeconomics Slide 1 Chapter 9 – Elasticity and Demand

creates shortage or surplus. Price Ceiling – A maximum price at which a good can be sold. Price Floor – Minimum price buyers are required to pay for a good. Elasticity The price elasticity of demand is computed as the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price. That is‚ Price elasticity of demand=ED= Percentage change in quantity demand Percentage change in price Where: %▲D > %▲P (1) = Elastic demand %▲D < %▲P (1) = Inelastic Demand

known as price elasticity. The price elasticity of demand can be influenced by availability of substitutes‚ the level of necessity or luxury‚ amount of income required by the product‚ the time period considered and permanent or temporary price change. In regards to substitute or alternative products‚ the more substitute products there are‚ the bigger the elasticity. In reference to necessity or luxury‚ one must understand that luxury products have a tendency to have a greater elasticity than necessities

Caratao Elasticity: Complements and Substitutes This week our team was tasked with discussing the concepts of complementary and substitute products and their effects on supply and demand. Most of the discussions were centered on getting a true and valid understanding of the definitions for each of these economic scenarios. Complements and Substitutes As we looked at why some

Elasticity is the ability of an object or substance to return quickly to its original shape and size after being bent‚ stretched‚ or squashed. When an elastic material is deformed due to an external force‚ it experiences internal forces that oppose the deformation and restore it to its original state if the external force is no longer applied. There are various elastic moduli‚ such as Young’s modulus‚ the shear modulus‚ and the bulk modulus‚ all of which are measures of the inherent stiffness of

INTRO Definition of ’Price Elasticity Of Demand’ A measure of the relationship between a change in the quantity demanded of a particular good and a change in its price. Price elasticity of demand is a term in economics often used when discussing price sensitivity. The formula for calculating price elasticity of demand is: Price Elasticity of Demand = % Change in Quantity Demanded / % Change in Price If a small change in price is accompanied by a large change in quantity demanded‚ the product
