Study Notes
Elasticity
- Elasticity is a measure of how much buyers and sellers respond to changes in market conditions.
- Allows for more precise analysis of supply and demand.
- Price elasticity of demand is the percentage change in quantity demanded given a percent change in the price.
Price Elasticity of Demand
- Measures how much the quantity demanded of a good responds to a change in the price of that good.
Computing the Price Elasticity of Demand
- The price elasticity of demand is computed as the percentage change in the quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price.
- Price Elasticity = Percentage Change in Qd / Percentage Change in Price
Elasticity, Percentage Change and Slope
- The price elasticity of demand measures how much quantity demanded responds to the price, which is closely related to the slope of the demand curve.
