Elasticity
provides a way of measuring how
|
|
|
|
sensitive
demand or supply is to factors such
|
|
|
as a change
in price. Take the relationship
|
|
|
|
between price
and quantity demanded. We
|
|
|
|
know that if
price rises then people will buy
|
|
|
|
less but we
do not know how much less.
|
|
|
|
Price
elasticity of demand allows us to
|
|
|
|
calculate this.
