Elasticity Basics
In this lesson, we will examine the basics of elasticity, including what it is, how it is measured, and how it is used in market analysis. - The first unit of this lesson, The Concept, introduces the elasticity concept and previews its role in market analysis.
- In the second unit, A Little More, examines the importance of elasticity for such topics as market shocks, taxes, and price controls.
- The third unit, Measurement, takes a close look at how elasticity is measured, focusing on the coefficient of elasticity.
- The fourth unit, A Continuum, examines the five categories of elasticity, ranging from elastic to inelastic, that form a continuum.
- The fifth unit and final unit, Market Elasticity, closes this lesson by introducing four key elasticity concepts for the market demand and supply.

MARGINAL PROPENSITY FOR GOVERNMENT PURCHASES The change in government purchases induced by a change in income or production (national income or gross domestic product). The marginal propensity for government purchases (abbreviated MPG) is another term for the slope of the government purchases line and is calculated as the change in government purchases divided by the change in income or production. The MPG plays a role in Keynesian economics. It augments the slope of the aggregate expenditures line and is part of the multiplier process. A related marginal measure is the marginal propensity to consume.
