The Elasticity Concept • How responsive is variable “G” to a change in variable “S” EG ‚ S % ΔG = % ΔS If EG‚S > 0‚ then S and G are directly related. If EG‚S < 0‚ then S and G are inversely related. If EG‚S = 0‚ then S and G are unrelated. Michael R. Baye‚ Managerial Economics and Business Strategy‚ 6e. ©The McGraw-Hill Companies‚ Inc.‚ 2008 The Elasticity Concept Using Calculus • An alternative way to measure the elasticity of a function G = f(S) is EG ‚ S dG S = dS G

higher gasoline prices? Most studies report that when US. gas prices rise by 10 percent‚ the quantity purchased falls by 1 to 2 percent. In September 2005‚ the retail gasoline price was $2.90 a gallon‚ about $1.00 higher than in September 2004‚ but purchases of gasoline fell by only 35 percent. Source: The New York limes‚ October 13‚ 2005 1. Calculate the price elasticity of demand for gasoline implied by what most studies have found. (2.90-1.90/1.90)= 52.6 2.
