THE ELASTICITY OF DEMAND需求彈性 Price elasticity of demand is a measure of
how much the quantity demanded of a good responds to a change in the price of that good.
Price elasticity of demand is the percentage change in quantity demanded given a percent change in the price.

DETERMINANTS OF PRICE ELASTICITY OF DEMAND Availability of Close Substitutes: More close substitutes=More elastic Example: Butter vs Egg
Necessities versus Luxuries: inelastic versus elastic Example: visit a doctor vs sailboat

DETERMINANTS OF PRICE ELASTICITY OF DEMAND Definition of the Market: Narrowly defined market– more elastic Broadly defined market – less elastic Example: Food vs Ice Cream
Time Horizon Longer time horizon– more elastic Shorter time horizon– less elastic

SUMMARY
Demand tends to be more elastic : the larger the number of close substitutes. if the good is a luxury. the more narrowly defined the market. the longer the time period.
![Page 7: E LASTICITY Economics 101. ELASTICITY 彈性 … is a measure of how much buyers and sellers respond to changes in market conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649ee95503460f94bfac6b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The (own) price elasticity of demand is computed as the percentage change in the quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price.

Case 1: Price rises from 1 to 1.1

Case 2: Price falls from 1.1 to 1.

MIDPOINT METHOD (ARC ELASTICITY弧彈性 )
The midpoint formula is preferable when calculating the price elasticity of demand because it gives the same answer regardless of the direction of the change.

Because the price elasticity of demand measures how much quantity demanded responds to the price, it is closely related to the slope of the demand curve.
Higher slope, lower elasticity

TOTAL REVENUE AND ELASTICITY
With an elastic demand curve, an increase in the price leads to a decrease in quantity demanded that is proportionately larger. Thus, total revenue decreases.
With an inelastic demand curve, an increase in the price leads to a decrease in quantity demanded that is proportionately smaller. Thus, total revenue increases.

INCOME ELASTICITY OF DEMAND
Income elasticity of demand measures how much the quantity demanded of a good responds to a change in consumers’ income.
It is computed as the percentage change in the quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in income.

NORMAL OR INFERIOR?
Types of Goods Normal Goods Inferior Goods
Higher income raises the quantity demanded for normal goods but lowers the quantity demanded for inferior goods.
Normal goods: Positive income elasticity Inferior goods: Negative income elasticity

NECESSITY OR LUXURY? Goods consumers regard as necessities tend
to be income inelastic Examples include food, fuel, clothing, utilities,
and medical services. Goods consumers regard as luxuries tend to
be income elastic. Examples include sports cars, furs, and
expensive foods.

PRICE ELASTICITY OF SUPPLY
Price elasticity of supply is a measure of how much the quantity supplied of a good responds to a change in the price of that good.
Price elasticity of supply is the percentage change in quantity supplied resulting from a percent change in price.
![Page 35: E LASTICITY Economics 101. ELASTICITY 彈性 … is a measure of how much buyers and sellers respond to changes in market conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649ee95503460f94bfac6b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
FORMULA
The price elasticity of supply is computed as the percentage change in the quantity supplied divided by the percentage change in price.
