Study Notes

Price Elasticity of Demand

  • Price elasticity of demand measures how responsive the quantity of a good or service demanded is to a change in its price or other influential factors.
  • Elasticity measures the responsiveness of one variable to changes in another variable.

Price and Demand Relationship

  • When the price elasticity of demand is between 0 and -1, a small percentage change in price will result in a smaller percentage change in demand, and demand is inelastic.
  • When the price elasticity of demand is between -1 and infinity, a small percentage change in price will result in a larger percentage change in demand, and demand is elastic.

Formula for Price Elasticity of Demand

  • The formula for price elasticity of demand represents the percentage change in quantity demanded in response to a 1% change in price.
