Elasticity•A measure of how much buyers and sellers respond to changes in market conditions
•A measure of the responsiveness of quantity demanded or quantity supplied to a change in one of its determinants

Price Elasticity of Demand•Measures how much the quantity demanded responds to a change in price.

Factors Influencing PED
•Availability of Close Substitute
• Necessities vs. Luxuries
• Definition of Market
• Time Horizon

Computing the PED
Price Elasticity of Demand = % ∆ Qd
% ∆P
PED = 20% / 10% = 2

Variety of Demand Curves
• Elastic- when elasticity is greater than 1.
• Inelastic-when elasticity is less than 1.
•Unit Elastic- when elasticity is equal to 1.
• Perfectly elastic- when elasticity is infinite.
• Perfectly inelastic- when elasticity is 0.

Total Revenue and the PED
• amount paid by the buyers and received by the sellers. (PxQ)
a. The Case of Inelastic Demand
Ex. Consider rice as an inelastic demand. An increase in price leads to a decrease in quantity demanded that is proportionately smaller

Elasticity and TR along a linear demand curve
•The slope of a linear demand curve is constant but its elasticity is not.

Income Elasticity of demand• Measures how the quantity demanded changes as
consumer income changes.
• = %∆Qd/%∆Y
Cross Price Elasticity of Demand
-- measures how the quantity demanded of one good respond to a change in the price of another good.
= %∆Qd of good 1
%∆P of good 2
